Easy to Learn
The Semantic UI is very well documented and the website provides many examples for the different components, common language for parts of interface elements, and familiar patterns to make it a very attractive and helpful UI.
High-Level Theming
All UI components share sitewide defaults, which let you quickly change the look and feel of components. High-level variables make sure you aren’t specifying one to one matches with CSS properties.
Develop Once, Redesign Infinitely
Creating a site in Semantic means you never have to rewrite your codebase from scratch. Redesigning means retooling your UI toolkit, adjusting UI definitions, not creating entirely new HTML layouts.
Semantic UI or Bootstrap?
Now we come to the question of Semantic UI vs. Bootstrap. Which of these should you adopt? We give you an exact breakdown:
• Semantic UI reminds one of Bootstrap’s design style, but with an easier syntax.
• Bootstrap is come up as one of the most popular front end framework and open source projects in the world, but Semantic UI enters as a rocket with 3000 theming variables, 50 UI components, 3,800 Commits.

In summary we can say that Semantic UI offers the following advantages: Almost no need to write your own css, Tons of components with API, Flexbox grid support, well documented. But it also has its disadvantages including a lack of angular support and material design support. In conclusion, we see Semantic UI as a new, fresh and in some aspects a unique addition to the landscape of front-end development frameworks.
