I had bookmarked this thread and had decided to give bootstrap a try. My other option was jquery (including jquery UI). I am mainly a programmer and not a natural designer.
After about a day or so of trying out to move my existing UI (of a fairly successful app) to bootstrap, I found it a bit limiting in some ways. The commonest one being to try and change the color of the nav bar.
Also the 'brand' style in Nav bar should support logos too. Perhaps provide a css code for it.
Also in general there is just one way(albiet good) you can do for all things, which I also did not like.
In a comparative way, jquery UI themes, give me a better default option over there. And I can choose a theme from several themes.
Another thing is that many of the bootstrap's components example 'TypeAhead' are again jquery plugins, for which you get competing options in the Jquery UI.
I also think, that creators of bootstrap are hurrying up with version numbers. 2.0 is a very aggressive call. In the light of, just a few months back, we just heard of bootstrap on HN. Opensource versioning has to more trustworthy than corporate versioning (a recent good example is node.js they are .6xxx . Jquery itself is still 1.7.xxx)
The above are my brief thoughts after playing with it for a day or so. Hope it helps somebody.
