Do programmers use bootstrap only for grid? or for other things also?

I think Bootstrap's forms are also great. Default HTML styling for forms looks clunky and old. And it's hard to get them to look good if you're doing your own css from scratch. There are lots of little styles to tweak that you might not even think of: focus state, hover state, disabled button styles, placeholder text styles, etc. etc.

Bootstrap is a good option if you just need decent, simple, modern looking looking website. It's like wearing khakis and a button down shirt. Not everyone occasion requires a bespoke suit. You can also add some branding/theme colors to Bootstrap fairly easily.
