I might be naïve and new in UI side of things. What is the big difference between bootstrap, foundation and tailwind? Also, what I saw people end up customizing the components anyways, at what point do you use a UI Component library and what situations you do not.

On bootstrap, Foundation, semantic UI you have all of the CSS code included, on tailwind and windicss you only include what's actually on the page by compiling it.

I hope this comment comes across as constructive and not an attempt to argue about licensing, but I find it really confusing to understand what on this website is under what license/what I can do with it. Under components are some great looking components with copy-pasteable code. Can I just copy-paste that into a website? If I do then do I need to copy in an MIT license attribution too into that source code where I…

The components are open source and you can use them any way you see fit under the MIT license terms. The pro version includes fully coded pages and layouts (ie. dashboard layout, landing pages, e-commerce pages) that can accelerate your development even more. We also work based on a Figma file that is based exclusively on the default Tailwind utility classes and you can get that too in the pro version (although there…

Do the pro version allow re-use in templates?

Question: are there any mature CSS component frameworks out there aside from Bootstrap and Bulma? And why aren't there more?

There are lots, it's just that many mostly advertise themselves as component libraries for particular frameworks. Oftentimes you'll find that the common core is just plain ol' CSS with a little bit of JS in the background.

I'm excited to see Tailwind and the "Atomic CSS" style gaining popularity. It's one of those things that looks repulsive and backwards at first, but works so well in real-world projects.

I got interested in atomic CSS a few years ago and used it on numerous projects for over a year. In the end I actually found the real world application of it a step backwards. What you gain in getting up and running quickly you loose in maintainability in my experience.

Not an expert here, but cannot you tree shake Bootstrap too?

We keep all of our components in template files so it's quite easy to maintain for us. If we need to change all of the buttons across the app, we just update the Button component.
