Bootstrap 4 Beta 2

I know I am going to be downvoted so hard, but really it's very easy to build you own css these days, css frameworks look an easy solution for beginning your project but they become a burden gradually as your project grows

It depends if it's a project that is going to grow. For so many things Bootstrap does so much for so little effort. I use it any time I need to spin something up quickly, prototype an idea, put an internal page together. Bootstrap is a tool for making a page where you don't care how it looks look good.

You aren't wrong. I will say I do still find myself surprised that many sites don't test cross browser and I find that these frameworks can alleviate that.

I honestly believed this to be released already. Completely surprised by this :).

I've been using the Bootstrap 4 beta for a couple weeks building a side project (https://nanagram.co) and I must say, it's been great to use. The built in utilities for responsive views and spacing are especially useful. Made optimizing the homepage for multiple screen sizes super fast and not painful at all. The Beta 1 had pretty good documentation and seemed pretty mature as well. Looking forward to upgrading to the Beta 2.

Bootstrap 4 is great and a pleasure to work with. Documentation structure on the other hand... Main nav section on the left with subsections on the right is totally counter-intuitive.

Except for all the edge cases which is a big reason why CSS frameworks are a thing. If you need to support lots of browsers it is certainly not easy to build your own.
