React Bootstrap offers the best of both worlds by combining the popular front-end framework Bootstrap with React's component-based architecture. This makes it incredibly easy to build responsive and visually appealing web applications. The library provides ready-to-use components that are both customizable and easy-to-integrate, saving development time and effort. Its seamless compatibility with React also means you can take full advantage of React's ecosystem, including state management and hooks, while still enjoying the design consistency Bootstrap offers.

React Bootstrap can be limiting when it comes to unique design requirements, as customization isn't always straightforward. The library may also add bloat to projects that don't need all its features, impacting performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I enjoy react-bootstrap for creating a quick and beautiful user interface in the react framework.
Some essential features to be considered
1. It's simple to install and integrate with npm I react-bootstrap.
2. It supports node package management and the execution of node packages.
3. A large and active user community is beneficial when you are stuck on a coding bug.
4. React bootstrap includes component libraries such as navbar, forms, text inputs, and button components.
5. Allow for the creation of customised CSS in addition to CDN. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some of its libraries do not support the latest deprecated version of responding. Thus we must use a prior stable version. There would be no dislike otherwise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like react bootstrap a lot. It simplifies design so I can focus on functionality. I like it for quick app creation where the emphasis is on functionality more than design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes they have lots of added boilerplate that you'll never use which turns into adds bloat for your project. So have to be careful about implementation using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- Constantly evolving with Bootstrap updates - meaning that the latest, most optimized features are always ready to use
- Extremely accessible and optimized, with minimal dependencies, so that bundles are low weight and website loading is optimized
- Comprehensive, well organized documentation with multiple examples for components and APIs
- Active Discord community for discussion on features, updates and bugs
- Allows custom CSS overriding of default styles Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- Lacks end to end examples on website, and doesn't allow new users to view a complete end product created using RB
- Styling is simple and isn't as good looking as some competitors like Material UI and Ant Design
- Some design decisions are hard to override and often arbitrary and do not fit into specific use cases
- Hasn't adapted to newer styles like Glassmorphism Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The similarity and ease of migration from the CSS-only framework are what make this easier to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are better alternatives out there offering better UI and less bloat, the framework itself is quite heavy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the most about react bootstrap that you do not need dependencies like jquery while working with it. Being one of the oldest UI library it has evolved with time providing large number of components for any kind of requirement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

new developers have more challenges for JSX complexity. a required additional tools to manage dependency Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It has most of the bootstrap components as React components. It gives a purely React experience and removes the hassle of including unnecessary CSS and JS files in the codebase. It also helps avoid JS conflicts like jQuery additions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We still have to include CSS in the main app. Not all components that the latest bootstrap provides are not yet reflected. Event handlers are not fully compatible every time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
