Is antd better than bootstrap? If so, how?

I am using bootstrap right now.

antd just has almost every component you need, so no more hitting npm looking for a bootstrap-react version of XYZ component. Antds grid is a lot like boostrap, but has flexbox helpers. It has a pretty solid Form function (no need to rely on a formsy package) I think the styles are a lot better for antd (kind of a dropbox feel). Lastly, they have a ton of examples in the docs and each component has a bunch of options to it.

And I think they're backed by antd financial (could be wrong). Bootstrap react seems to rely on good will PRs. There's another boostrap 4 react repo that seems to be gaining popularity too, so who knows which will win out.

I really hope they get better english support for their react-native library.
