I'm using Susy as CSS grid framework and I find that 48 columns gives me alot more control over the design. Most of the time 24 or even 12 columns is more that enough, but for special cases 48 is a bit more convenient.
I've noticed that the web standard seems to be 12, with Bootstrap & Foundation for example. Concerning those I understand that a larger grid would generate alot more css. But since Susy doesn't have that problem, is there another reason for limiting your columns to 12? To me it seems there isn't, but since most people are using 12 columns I can't shake the feeling that I'm missing something.
Nope. That should work fine. Cheers!

Which approach is preferable for creating a grid - flexbox, css-table or inline-block?
Or may be each of this technics should be used in specified cases?
If so, in what cases should be they used?
each has benefits and disadvantages.
Flexbox is very useful in many cases, but some browsers still lacks the features.
Tables may sound oldskool, but if you are coding an html mailing, it is still the best way.
I think before starting a project, you should check other projects and search on google what is best for you scope.
Flexbox is becoming the most popular among web developers these days. Websites have been able to get much more responsive on different screen sizes over the last few years which is why using flexboxes is the most popular at this point. It is finally supported on all of the main browsers and provides a good interface for building anything.
Using inline-blocks is still useful however, in different parts of a website, usually with less elements or only two columns, such as a image or an icon next to a body of text.

I have seen there are lots of workarounds to make Bootstrap to support 5 columns grid, but there isn't a proper explanation why it doesn't support 5 columns in the first place.
Instead of making things work I think it is important to know how the Bootstrap structure works. Does anyone have any idea?
it a simple logic bootstrap grid system equal to 12 column if we divide 12col to 5col so result 2.4 and bootstrap not provide to 2.4 col you have to make your own html or css or search on google i hope it help you
or try it

Simply because, Bootstrap follows a 12 column grid system. (and 12%5 !== 0)
You're free to use other grid systems:
here's a list.
Or create your own
If you want, you can have two 1 columns acting as margins, and then with the 10 left, you can have five 2 columns.

Given that CSS components (buttons etc.) can be used apart from Bootstrap grid system, what are the actual advantages of using Bootstrap over CSS flex model?
I am asking this questions as I always have big problems with margin/padding in Bootstrap 3 as few pixels (15px or so) are added, preventing me to take advantage of the full width of a container. Also, if I try to manually sent the margin to 0 the whole layout is displaced (including outer containers)
One current disadvantage of using flex is that it doesn't work for IE9 or earlier. It's probably a bit soon to be dumping them yet.

For a mobile-first website, i need a grid with SASS preprocessor functions. Currently i am using the Bootstrap 3 Grid which works fine but seems to lack flexibility. Especially i do not want to clutter my html with additional css classes like row or column-4.
I found two promising alternatives:
Jeet Grid
Singularity
Both have powerful tools at hand to span columns, change breakpoints, modify gutters, etc. Can you give a short overview of pro's and con's for both?
creator of Singularity here.
Both are fantastic and very similar. Singularity is more focused on just doing grids and little else while Jeet is more of a full-featured framework, not just the grid. Cory, who created Jeet, is great with support as well.
You may also want to look into Susy which has a strong community behind it as well.
Neat isn’t as full featured as any of these other grid systems listed but it is really elegant and simple to use so it might fit your needs.

This may be a silly question, so my apologies in advance.
I'm designing a CSS grid for my website. The overall width of the grid is 1150px divided into 12 columns. But when it comes to the gutter width: It it best to use a small or big width? Or do you choose that depending on how you want your website to look/be styled?
Thanks for any help!
Gutter is a concept independent of CSS and it is related to a better legibility (easier to read).
There is no predefined rule about the width. Just set the whitespace between columns to some value that you want.
This value depends about what you looking for in your website (legibility, structure, design, information architecture ).
