is there any free clean Bootstrap 4 Theme on the market or github? we want to build our own theme and for this we want to have an clean bootstrap 4 base.
Unfortunately, there are no Bootstrap 4 themes. Even the github repository with bootstrap 3 was never fully functional and was full of bugs.
I believe that until cs-cart doesn't migrate it's main theme to bootstrap 4, it doesn't make any sense to bother with the custom bootstrap 4 theme development. To much hassle with upgrades :-/
As far as I know, cs-cart team doesn't have any plans to support modern front-end frameworks. That's a pity, because in my opinion cs-cart lacks modern themes which is the main factor taken into consideration while choosing e-commerce platform.
The more modern themes, the bigger community. Even though cs-cart is superior in many aspects, it looses many customers to all-shiny platforms :-/
These are my thoughts regadin the UI and Frontend development of CS-Cart/MV:
Boilerplate theme should be improved, updated and supported/re-activated by CS-Cart. It is an essential tool that front-end developers need to create custom themes. I can see that last modification to the theme files dated a year ago.
Layout Manager should be upgraded/improved/replaced. Nowadays there are incredible layout managers in the market, like this one http://gantry.org/ It is far better than the outdated, clunky CS-Cart Layout manager.
UI modules and libraries should be updated. CS-Cart themes still using old version of Owl Carousel, JQuery... etc.
Modern image formats should be supported by CS-Cart like the ability to upload SVG, Webp... etc.

I agree with you, they have to upgrade all frameworks and libraries on CS-CART v5 they too late!
