I second the entire comment -- well, excluding the programmer lacking design skills. As a developer with a decent amount of design skills, what I love is that their defaults are extremely easy to customise and extend where necessary. > I'm also amazed at how often I spot it now. Seems like it's everywhere. I also see it everywhere, which is the main impetus for me to come up with a completely customised version that reflects my design style. Hopefully more people do the same instead of just using it straight off of a clone.

I suspect we will see a wave of "skins" released for it soon.

  I'm creating a library of design patterns for BS, so ping me if you want to be included. EDIT: I'm sorry I don't have a signup list yet! Just email me at my HN username at gmail and I'll send out an alert that way.

      Unfortunately no, not yet, I'm still abstracting out the themes from a few recent side projects and wanted to clean things up before posting anywhere.

    would love to be included. Would be cool also if you could allow users just plug in any palette from www.colourlovers.com or patterns from subtlepatterns.com which would add quick/mass customization of a site and really simple/sweet A/B testing.

      Ha, Darius from colourlovers was one of the first people I tested the idea out on over breakfast a few weeks back and he really warmed up to it, especially considering the ambitious marketplace he's building now: http://creativemarket.com http://creativemarket.com And subtlepatterns kicks ass, it's been my secret designer weapon ever since it came out.

      Absolutely! Definitely inspired by all the Bootstrap activity I've been seeing here lately. Here's another one - a form builder based on Bootstrap and jquery: http://news.ycombinator.org/item?id=3442883 http://news.ycombinator.org/item?id=3442883
