I'd recommend neither. CSS has caught up, and the two large problems that these frameworks solved no longer exists: grids, and differences between browser implementations.

Additionally, semantic UI deserves the scorn of a thousand linguists for the most misleading (unsemantic? or even antisemtitic?) product name ever: there is nothing semantic about class="col-xs-12 col-m-3 col-x-1"



For a backend developer, I find bootstrap and Semantic UI brilliant.

I mean I can write CSS from scratch and make it responsive, but it generally looks awful without having a designer.

But using bootstrap I can use a default layout, and the default components and it looks respectable.


semantics aside (hehe), you described the grid class of bootstrap, not semantic ui. In semantic its something like "ten wide column" or "four wide column" etc.

I rarely use semantic for its grid though. Those are now easy problems to solve. I use it because it gets me a clean and pretty UI I can theme later to adjust the specifics (or get someone who is better at design than me to do it).
