Bootstrap is a widely used CSS framework that comes with a set of pre-designed components and responsive grid system. Unlike Tailwind's utility-first approach, Bootstrap focuses on component classes, which can lead to more semantic HTML but less customization flexibility.
Foundation is a responsive front-end framework similar to Bootstrap, with a focus on mobile-first design. It provides a set of pre-styled components and a grid system. Foundation allows for more customization than Bootstrap but is less utility-focused compared to Tailwind.
Bulma is a modern CSS framework based on Flexbox. It is component-based like Bootstrap but with a simpler syntax. Bulma's design is more opinionated than Tailwind's, and it doesn't offer the same level of low-level control.
Tachyons is another utility-first CSS framework that aims to provide as much speed as possible by using small, single-purpose classes. It shares a similar philosophy with Tailwind but has a smaller community and less extensive documentation.
