Bootstrap is not a bad thing. Many employers are looking for bootstrap knowledge, and a portfolio often looks incomplete w/o something like bootstrap in it. I'm more refering to react-bootstrap though

Didn't say it's bad, I've used it for years!

I'm not particularly attached to it though, I think it has already seen its heyday and due to advancements in CSS it is less needed.

Sites using Bootstrap, be it the original version or the Vue/ReactJS declined versions, all suffer from the same thing: they really look like Bootstrap websites :D

Like when you visits someone's place and you both have the same furniture because you both shop at IKEA ;-)

haha, very true, but a lot of startups or smaller companies want to look like everyone else. There is a certain amount of professionalism in looking similar the competition. I'm not saying I like it personally, but many businesses want to look "professional" and so they stick with something that adds a "standard" to their website...
