Animate.css vs Bourbon: What are the differences?
Developers describe Animate.css ** as "A library of CSS animations". It is a bunch of cool, fun, and cross-browser animations for you to use in your projects. Great for emphasis, home pages, sliders, and general just-add-water-awesomeness. On the other hand, **Bourbon is detailed as "A lightweight mixin library for Sass". Bourbon is a library of pure sass mixins that are designed to be simple and easy to use. No configuration required. The mixins aim to be as vanilla as possible, meaning they should be as close to the original CSS syntax as possible.
Animate.css and Bourbon can be categorized as "CSS Pre-processors / Extensions" tools.
Animate.css and Bourbon are both open source tools. It seems that Animate.css with 61.2K GitHub stars and 13K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Bourbon with 8.86K GitHub stars and 917 GitHub forks.
