A front-end developer from Mar del Plata, Argentina. Passionate about CSS, accessibility, and JS. Currently working on "just a small fix", as I've been doing for the last 15 years.
Frameworks are certainly not dead, most of the web still make great use of them, and they'll still be popular for quite some years. I can see some people going out of the ginormous frameworks such as Bootstrap in favor of simpler things such as Tailwind. But they are here to stay.
I freaking love CSS grid, and in my opinion custom CSS is a better way for most projects in the smaller scale, and a custom design system for the bigger ones, but CSS Grid (and flex, and all the "new" things) only makes it easier to go with such approach. As much as I'd love to see a "more custom, less frameworks" approach, I don't really see that trend happening.
