I disagree. I think tools like Bootstrap move the state of the web forward. My only gripe is that there aren't more projects like Bootstrap to choose from. (I suspect that will change with time, as developers/designers see how much demand there is for these tool sets.) Personally, I'd love to see an alternative to Bootstrap built on top of Compass and incorporating the design patterns of Kickstarter ;) Additionally, designing with (and against) a set of patterns like Bootstrap gives you valuable constraints. I prefer that to sitting down to a blank screen, and apparently loads of other people do too, to judge by Bootstrap's massive success.
