<b>Responsive controls: custom breakpoints vs the three-device lie</b>
Most builders ship desktop/tablet/mobile and call it responsive. Real device widths don't cluster at those three points, and the gaps show.

Elementor (3.x) and Bricks both let you add custom breakpoints — widescreen, small-tablet, large-mobile — so you can fix the 600-900px no-man's-land where the stock three break. Divi added extra breakpoints later; WPBakery stays rigidly three-tier.

Pros (custom breakpoints):
— Fix the awkward mid-widths the default trio ignores
— Per-breakpoint visibility and spacing control
Cons:
— Each added breakpoint multiplies the CSS you generate and maintain
— Easy to over-engineer and bloat the stylesheet

Verdict: custom breakpoints solve real layout bugs, but every one adds CSS weight — add only where a layout actually breaks.

Best for: complex layouts that visibly snap badly between tablet and mobile widths.
