I went through several projects where team leads laughed at the idea of Bootstrap in their projects. They treated Bootstrap as a bulky, unnecessary mess of a framework that only inexperienced code monkeys used in spite of it being small and modular.
The dumbest one of all was a team lead who turned out to have little to no real world experience in decision making. He had some help creating an internal CSS framework. It was responsive, modular, mobile first, and had lots of builtin classes for font/element sizes, colors, behavior, etc. Sound familiar? His column-based framework was a terrible drop in for Bootstrap. Even the class attributes were blatant rip-offs, but the lack of robustness meant lots of inline CSS to fix elements.
