What is better the bootstrap or the alpha one ? I see things like "text-sm-center" and "p-t-3" only works in the alpha

Sure, Bootstrap 4 still in alpha made major, breaking changes to it's framework compared to Bootstrap 3, which is still the current stable version of bootstrap released.

So ones not inherently "better" than the other, they're just an evolution of each other. Bootstrap 4 provides a new style, and so new features.

Something to pay attention to is that I don't believe bootstrap 4 even has a release candidate out yet, which means that bootstrap 4 could, and likely will still have changes made to it before it's first official release.

With that said, you can use B4 today if you're willing to stay diligent in tracking those changes, and understand that you may not simply be able to just "update" your bootstrap files without risking that something broke.
