Bootstrap 5 vs Bootstrap 4 – Should you switch?
Here are some reasons why you would want to stick to Bootstrap 4 in your current projects:
Your project needs support for IE 10 and IE 11.
Your project is dependent on jQuery and you don’t need new features of Bootstrap 5.
Bootstrap 5 is still in alpha and you want to wait till the stable version is released.
And here are the reasons why you would want to switch over to Bootstrap 5 in your new projects or update your older ones:
You are using React or Vue.js and want to use Bootstrap without the dependency on jQuery.
You want to utilize the new features of Bootstrap such as expanded color palette, enhanced grid system, custom utilities etc.
As for me, I will keep using Bootstrap 4 in my existing projects till the stable version is released. For new web projects, I will start using Bootstrap 5 to make use of the new features. Once the stable version is released, I will upgrade my existing projects to move to the newer version. Checkout Bootstrap templates by our team.
