Talk about a first-world problem! I'm sure the original Ford T was frowned upon by purists for their lack of originality. For every spoiled designer turning away in disgust from a cookie-cutter bootstrap website, there are 50 web apps being created which would not exist without bootstrap ! For example: at dotCloud our ratio of backend/frontend engineers is 10/1. We've got people (me included) who can automate a cluster of hundreds of machines but are basically UI-impaired. Bootstrap has multiplied our individual velocity by at least 10: now our core platform engineers take the time to write web tools because it's achievable in a couple hours. And when we finally grew our frontend team there was a point of reference for building a style guide, reusable page elements, etc.
