I wholeheartedly agree with all the points that you have made here.

What I meant by overuse is this. A lot of people I know, use bootstrap for literally everything. Even if it is just a 2 page website with a block of text and image and a form the first instinct is to drop in the entirety of bootstrap and just go on the way. Do you really need so much of css, hundreds of unused classes just because you wanted a grid, even when you can probably use flex and a lot of native css stuff.

My target for this post was people who use css frameworks are a UI standardising tool rather than a UI styling tool.
