I am completely baffled by their grid system.
That is all. I now return you to your regularly scheduled chaos.

It seems fairly straightforward to me. What's causing you issues?

It takes a while to wrap one's head around it, but it's pretty straight forward if you stick to the basics.
"row" class for every row.
"col-??" class for every column. Learn the ??, the xs/sm/md/lg options, as they're great for controlling column widths depending on the browser width.
"col-??-offset-n" where n is a certain number of columns is also nice for controlling padding depending in the window width.
After that, just put your column's content in your own div.
Basically though, it's just a CSS wrapper for td and tr. 
It is, however, the best grid layout system I've played with, though my recommendation doesn't go very far as I'm still a n00b at all this.

I always have to laugh at how history repeats itself. There was a time when we did table-based layouts. Then CSS came along and that was bad. Fluid layouts using floats all the way baby. Now, I agreed with that movement of course. But the irony is Bootstrap went and re-popularized a grid system. Which ironically, in theory, is no different than a table for a layout. It's usually at this point the kiddies say "it's responsive though", like old timers don't know that. But conceptually, it's the same. Now here we are with flexbox, which is like the love child of floats and tables, which works strikingly enough, similar to Bootstrap's grid system.

Not necessarily.
If you're creating a responsive grid, you'll probably have a different number of "cells" per row at different screen sizes. Therefore, it's not possible to wrap the cells for each row in a "row" container.
The only purpose of the "row" container is to negate the margin for the first and last items in a row, so it usually still works if you have a single "row" container for the entire grid.
The problems start when you have cells of different heights. Because Bootstrap v3 uses float for the cells, you can end up with one tall cell forcing the next row to start half-way across the screen. To solve that, you'd need to drop the Bootstrap grid, and use Flexbox, Grid layout, or display:inline-block instead. Either that, or add some fairly complicated nth-child clearing rules.

I am baffled and, if truth be told, a little shocked at your bafflement. Bootstrap is a breath of fresh air in web design for graphically challenged people like myself.
But not Bootstrap 4. Not sure about that yet - not keen on how it lays out.
John - you can do it!

I only recently just started playing around with version 4 (beta 2), mainly because I didn't bother with the alphas. But, from what I know, 4 is the same as 3 in how the grid system works except by default it uses flexbox under the hood so it may render differently. And you can be implicit about the columns now.
Here's a side-by-side demo of 3 vs 4...

In that demo, both 3 and 4 do the same thing in both IE11 and Chrome v61. Those are the only browsers I have, and I cannot update the apps (permissions issue on a DoD system).

Width-wise it should be the same. The discrepancies will have to do with height. Granted, I'm totally new to version 4 so I'm learning too... just going off of how flexbox works underneath the hood.

Also, if you look at the class names. They're different. The demo is recreating the same layout in both version 3 and 4. In short, version 4 is more relaxed and forgiving than version 3 thanks to it using flexbox underneath the hood.

I'm baffled we need third party libraries to make it less hard (or "breath of fresh air" as you call it) to do anything to begin with!
