Why does it matter if the HTML is messy and verbose if it otherwise meets your requirements? You can use Bootstrap without any JavaScript at all, and you could implement Dark Mode via CSS and/or JavaScript.

#14Check out basscss.com. First off, you don't want any framework that uses JS like Bootstrap because if you're using vue or react that really screws things up. Basscss I feel hits the sweet spot that lets you easily develop the look and feel you want vs a canned one.
For the record you can use bootstrap, without the JS.
What is the result?

#15I think you need to come up with your list of requirements. - Dark Mode But beyond that I'm not sure what your requirements are.
- Themable - Simple - Doesn't make HTML too verbose - Isn't Dead - Easy - Modern(legacy support must not be obstacle towards adopting modern features)
tailwind components for $150?
Re: Ask HN: Which CSS Framework to Choose?
#16I have the same problem every time I start a new project. I’ve tried Tailwind, but it takes too much time for me to style something normal. Material UI/Vuetify have a lot of shadows which don’t look good. Recently I tried Ant Design (for React, haven’t tried for Vue) and it looks quite good and it’s easy to use.
