Looking at that listing the more amazing stat is that twitter bootstrap is #3. That was just released a few months ago and is "simply" an html ui framework. I think this highlights that over anything else, what most developers really need is a solid web ui to get started with.

It just shows that people hype on everything and follow like sheep - doesn't matter if they need particular project or not. Developers are no exception it seems...

  At the same time, it also shows that developers or hackers are no different that consultants that keep selling new methodologies. Our products are new programming languages, new patterns, new programming paradigm.

  I don't think that is what it shows at all. People follow the projects they find interesting or will need to use in the future. This doesn't make it "The most popular thing on the internet", but it does show that people find it useful and fills a need they had. Your comment was really unhelpful and rude.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but Bootstrap is also relatively unique. We've had css frameworks before, but they were usually concerned with letting you position things along a grid structure. The great thing about Bootstrap is that it provides you with a full complement of UI "widgets" that look reasonably good, filled in a page chocked full of examples. We have a good designer on staff and so we were slowly starting to build something along these lines, but standardizing on Bootstrap has saved such enormous quantities of time I can't recommend it enough. I've used it on two or three projects already and it makes me happy inside.

  Yep, we also use Bootstrap quite heavily for the web-based business apps we build for our clients. Makes it easy to build standardized and pretty interfaces. Previously we were following jQuery UI themes, but Bootstrap is better in that it provides very nice defaults for many different types of content.

    100% of my jquery-ui experience can be summed up with "I don't know why this is so hard and why is this so ugly? Ugh, I just want this plugin to work already." Bootstrap on the other hand is a great way to go from 0 to "For something that a developer slapped together this looks really clean and composed" in no time flat.
