Hi Nitish ,
I feel bootstrap is a mobile first framework and is
primarily meant for creating ui that looks great in
large and small screens.
Given the kind of application Ofbiz is , it is difficult
to imagine much core usage in mobile space as most of
the screens requires an elaborate input from users and
also display quite many details.
Definitely bootstrap provides elegant UI/UX but most
of the (bootstrap based) designs that i have come across
are not dense in terms of information content . The forms
created by default bootstrap styles waste too much space,
IMHO.
I am not sure how much value it is going to add in comparison
to the effort made in customizing the bootstrap styles to
accommodate the screens of Ofbiz which generally have quite
many fields in forms or tables.
I feel if with relatively less effort the the proposed UI improvement
can done its worth !.

Hi Rajesh,
This is interesting and I agree.
Despite recognising Bootstrap value I have always thought that there is some
cargo cult around it.
Notably, as you outline, for applications like ERP. Even if nowadays you often
have access to them also from smartphones.
Of course a CSS framework is more interesting if you look for ecommerce
solutions, where mobile is ubiquitous
I have been working with the ilscipio team who is mostly providing ecommerce
solutions.
They initialled picked Bootstrap but are finally using Foundation.
I never used a CSS framework, but I read that Foundation is more flexible
regarding tables, that OFBiz uses a lot!
Anyway rather than blindly using a CSS framework, we could get inspired from
them.
To indeed improve what we have already and where a lot of thoughts has already
been put.
