I added some missing Bootstrap components. Adjust the size if you think they take up too much space.

I worked with both carbon by ibm and bootstrap.

I would say bootstrap is very matured.So I mainly worked with bootstrap on migrating ref app to bootstrap with openmrs.Prior that as well on some other work.Normally its a pretty norm to use in any web app u develop in these days.And I like the backward compatibility it has with the previous versions. Now there will be a new release.

So carbon.I used carbon angular for another project call zowe (LF). It seems it is not stabilized yet lot of things including docs needs to be stable. So I looked in to the styleguide as well but there were times I couldnt figure out things and had to mix and match components with other component frameworks :disappointed:.So I can say bootstrap is in the front from these two :slightly_smiling_face:
