The biggest thing I notice from that announcement isn’t about Bootstrap 5, but rather that libsass is deprecated… Instead of updating it they decided to just deprecate it, and they replace it with dart-sass, which is not native code and instead requires dart and a dart runtime, so those people who were linking libsass into native programs to run on arch’s that things like javascript and dart don’t support are now just SOL, this does not seem like a smart move by the sass authors, but it does match what I expect from the javascript/dart ecosystems… >.>

Since I changed to TailwindCSS, I have not looked back to Bootstrap 4. I have to try this since I have read that it has been influenced by TailwindCSS.

Maybe it is a nice middle point between the customization of TailwindCSS and the pre-defined templates but the faster development of Bootstrap.

Yeah, screw prebuilt binaries, right? They could have chosen a tool that’s written in Go or Rust and just point people at a website – “you’ll need this tool” – and be done with it but no, as you said the JS ecosystem strikes again.
