I disagree entirely, and explained why in this post. It doesn't accelerate development, it takes it over. Boostrap is not flexible. You write code their way and if you honestly want to customize the core, it's going to be just as much trouble as writing your own styles. I would be a poster child for bootstrap if it did what you said (accelerate development but get out of your way when you need it), but it only completes half of the equation. It accelerates at the beginning, but then you are stuck with it.

> if you honestly want to customize the core, it's going to be just as much trouble as writing your own styles I agree, and if I were approaching a project where I knew I'd be charged with significant customization, I'd probably choose to use Compass to code my own design patterns. That said, many, many projects don't fit that bill, and I think Bootstrap is just the first in in a series of tools that will offer beginner/intermediate developers an accelerated path to a design 'that doesn't suck'. The need for such tools is obviously greater than many imagined.
