I see a lot of people here and on GitHub project page complaining about compatibility with older versions of bootstrap. I don't get it - if your project is already working on older version of bootstrap - why even bother updating it, I mean it's only CSS code, it's not like it will bring you any speed improvements or something...I think it's neither bad or good thing that new version of bootstrap less and less compatible with older versions, this way at least we can get things like flexbox and drop support for older browsers for our new projects, without sacrificing it just for a sake of compatibility. From my experience it takes more time and issues from upgrading cars library compared to just keep using the older version.

#23It's said Bootstrap5 will possible use postcss, which is great.
Hope this can be released soon, I honestly feel tired waiting for Angular2 and Bootstrap4 and I began to use something else instead(vuejs that is, stuck with Bootstrap3)

#24Beginning to wonder why they need to break compatibility so often?
Because it's not meant for you to upgrade an existing front end from Bootstrap 3 to Bootstrap 4. It's meant for starting a new project on Bootstrap 4.
If you already have a working project on Bootstrap 3 why bother upgrading?
If they had to maintain backwards compatibility they wouldn't be able to make a lot of the improvements they make.

#25What CSS framework is recommend these days if you can afford being flexbox only?
For vast majority of websites, no need to use framework. Work from scratch. No resets, no normalizing, nothing. Add in components as you go. Keep it light and bug free this way. Frameworks are unnecessary for most projects.
Unless you aren't into herding cats when every developer develops a brand new button / grid / whatever ever time the is a new addition to the site because they can't understand or find the original NIH element styles. If you happen to be lucky enough to be the only person ever working on the project then I would agree.

#26We've been using maximum of 1140px col-xl width since 1920x1080 was considered the bleeding edge, but now monitors with 2560x1440 resolution are becoming more common- where 1140 barely covers half the width of the screen.
Isn't about time we had a grid container that fixed this?

Stop using grids and use flexbox instead!

#28Has bootstrap been this slow to roll out future versions before? Feels like the main contributors are losing interesting/available time? (releases: https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/releases)

Bootstrap 3 was released 3 years ago and the 4 has been on beta for 1 year now, so Bootstrap 5 will probably use something newer than postcss.

#30What's new? I haven't been following bootstrap 4, ( especially since I switched to http://semantic-ui.com/ ). * I see a list of themes priced at 100$ :/ (maybe that's a good thing?) * "Moved from Less to Sass". OK, that's a late addition but always welcomed. (Although there was already an unofficial sass version of bootstrap.) * "Opt-in flexbox support is here". Why would flexbox not be opt-out? * "giving you more op…
wow semantic-ui it's amazing! Quite heavy but love it and so flexible!
