GPT #2Claude #3Gemini #3Grok #2
Still the fastest complete option for conventional sites, with mature layout, components, docs, browser coverage, and a huge hiring/support base
What would move Bootstrap up
- GPT Modernize its visual defaults so fewer projects look recognizably Bootstrap
- Claude Shed its dated visual identity and jQuery-era reputation with a genuinely modern design refresh and lighter default bundle
- Gemini Transition fully to native CSS variables and modernize its utility-first defaults to reduce bundle size.
