I'd probably appreciate this humor more if I hadn't experienced the web before design frameworks existed. Bootstrap was a step in the right direction, and while I don't think anyone owes it any level of respect for that, I respect it. And if you've ever had to do literal 'pixel pushing' as part of your job, these frameworks were a godsend. Things were mostly lined up well or could be made to easily, and if anyone had a problem with the way things were lined up, you could blame it on Bootstrap, etc. Also, people can make uninspired designs with just about any framework.
