Yeah, people are saying, "No, learn CSS!" but isn't CSS exceedingly simple? Why can't I just use Bootstrap because I don't feel like designing an app, and Bootstrap is the fastest way to get a consistent layout on web and mobile? What's it got to do with learning at all?

> "No, learn CSS!" but isn't CSS exceedingly simple? No, it's not. I don't want to start a CSS flame war, but at least for layout / positioning I struggle every single time with CSS, especially on sites with dynamic content. CSS is my least favorite part of the web development stack by far.

AMEN. It's easy to write CSS. Just hacking away until something works... It's hard to write GOOD css and if you have any ounce of good programming taste it's difficult.

If you don't know the differences between versions 3 or 4 yet... My recommendation would be to start with bootstrap 4. You'll learn the downsides by the requirements of your project... maybe this is the hard way but that's the way to learn... Facing problems...
