Boy, the #DisplaySuite module for #Drupal has an interesting development practice where rather than waiting for major version changes for breaking changes, they just add toggles to keep things as they are for older installations.

Not sure if I love it or hate it, but it did just cause me problems when an update function meant to enable a backwards compatibility flag did not run for some reason.

@mikemccaffrey anytime I see a tab called "Emergency" I feel like maybe I should revisit my decisions. 😓

I've always regretted the times I used #Drupal Display Suite. I find it less confusing to just let my template files do more of the work. For me, it's easier to visualize how the DOM is coming together when I'm touching it often.

Granted, I'm mostly in situations where I don't need to spin up new layouts often. Naturally, I'd favor slow and stable over powerful and flexible.

@sysop408 Yeah, I never install DS either, since I prefer to let the twig files do the work, since they are so clean and powerful.

This was a site I inherited from some developers who wanted to use the UI Patterns module to create components, which has worked well enough, but never actually made things easier (which is why I've been pulling my hair out over the decision to shove SDC into core, which provides almost the exact same functionality).
