I'm really looking forward to Bootstrap 4, it's been one of those key productivity boosters in my arsenal of skills. So, many thanks to the Bootstrap team, you've made the world a better place (if anything, certainly my world). Though, one thing I noticed going through the docs, the first thing I always look at is the "forms" section. For most apps, forms are probably the most important aspect (at least, for me they…

Hear, hear. This is a common issue for me as well. I have several forms in my web apps where I would like to use space more effectively by placing short fields (e.g. Start Date / End Date) next to each other under longer fields. At the moment, I have to do the dance of creating a new "row" class and two "col-lg-6" DIVs to manually arrange these while still keeping things responsive (i.e. so the shorter fields appear…

Complex forms, that's exactly why I switched from bootstrap to grid forms (http://kumailht.com/gridforms/) then to material design (http://forms.viewflow.io/demo/bank/)

Any idea on what is the state of the react-bootstrap project ?

I see that the project is active on github, but for a long time, its been marked as under "active development".

When the world expects GridViews..

You snark, but that is what the world expects - a grid gives the user a simple, tidy, and consistent layout across the whole of the app. It might be "boring" and it might result in an "all apps look the same" world, but it's hard to challenge when users claim they enjoy, and are willing to pay for, apps built with it. Also, the whole "every app looks the same" opinion is only true if you're a developer or a serial st…

Plus, is it really a problem that every app looks the same? I consider that a feature. If i run a program on windows i expect it to have the same type of buttons as every other program. Why should i have to relearn what a button looks like just because someone feels that their app has to be unique.
