Semantic-ui: BEM Flow

[ghost]

Use BEM flow for html and css

You mixed the markdown :) [BEM](https://en.bem.info)

And can you explain the why? Whats the benefit, compatibility with existing versions, etc.

Looking at the website the information is very limited on explaining the "why",
"Technology for creating web applications", this can literally anything!

And what I can find only talks about "how" you can do this, and requires me to learn a new language which is based on JSON?!

One benefit: it would be easier to pick just a few components and integrate in an existing design. For example .modal .image .text .header .content are classes which have a big chance to interfere in an existing system but classes like .ui-Modal .ui-Modal--image .ui-Modal__header are much easier to integrate.

They are scoped to components just not using BEM. There are no "free floating" class names

I was referring to the fact that a component used in an existing framework would have it's styles changed by the framework. I usually rewrite the classes but than I loose the ability to easily update to a new version. Anyway, thanks and great work on the framework.

Semantic UI would be a no brainer for all our projects if it used an effective naming pattern instead of a gimmick. Used it in one project because it looks good and offers lots out of the box but have had to fix a lot of bugs related to the gimmicky naming. BEM is significantly better than semantic naming.
