Should we let go of the columns widget?

@uzzer

the columns widget does not support all possible numbers of columns

The columns widget definitely needs some improvements.[quote=“uzzer, post:1, topic:31034”]
as a consequence of the above novices would need to realize that they could achieve the same by floats, which is a waste of time - if one knew that columns were possible with floats, from the very beginning, s/he wouldn’t have wasted time learning how to use the columns widget

Creating a column grid need some hacks that not everyone knows and of course sometimes floats works.

@uzzer

responsive layouts need to be adjusted via Settings, that is, they are not automatically rendered to all instances of the css class

You should try bootstrap to see how helpful are the widget settings.

@uzzer

the widget comes with some pre-defined margins and paddings which is annoying, as you’d need to change them every time to fit your own design (but then, this is not a project with the widget itself, but with the policy of pre-defined margins and paddings)

They have pre-defined margins and paddings so they can fit on the grid.
