In my opinion beginners are better off learning Bootstrap as it's so easy to get things done and that is precisely what beginners need instead of getting stuck and banging thier heads on the walls reading docs to figure everything out, and later on make the switch to Tailwind.

For beginner's, bootstrap is always great way to start and as developer they should explore the framework world!

Yes/No - Beginner whats?

Beginner frontend developers or designers? Beginner backend developers?

If you're a beginner who really wants to understand the fundamentals of the web and get to really excel, then learning CSS first is vastly more helpful in the long run. Learn to walk before you can run :P

Well CSS first is obvious isn't it, I was picking Bootstrap over Tailwind for beginners and and beginners in Frontend Development obviously.

Obviously Frontend? Personally it would be more obvious for a backend developer to use it as it means they don't need to think about CSS at all to achieve their backend goals :P It's not always obvious for everybody, and we have a duty to share accurate and helpful information to others by being clear with our words!

In my opinion, tailwind is easier than bootstrap.

I get what you are saying, you are talking about beginner frontend devs. I mean, I won't be applying to any frontend jobs, by only knowing bootstrap 😬

I learned my wife to build a page with tailwind in one day without background knowledge of html and css. We use bootstrap in work, but still I have no idea how to get things done like in tailwind, as tailwind makes it really easy to guess what you want
