Why are there so many of these debates?
This is really starting to be like php vs. ruby vs. dot net discussions. The end result is it doesn't matter as long as you're comfortable starting and finishing a project with it.
The value Bootstrap brings is to save time. Also, no one really should care what developers think of this as the teams race towards finishing their MVP. Your job is to finish the MVP - that's it!
IF YOUR PAYING CUSTOMERS are bitching at you for making yet another Bootstrap site, then let's come back and debate this. You guys are all focusing on the wrong problem.
- jsnk 15y agoI think most notable backlashes against Bootstrap came from the designer community. They do have valid points, but one cannot ignore the motives of the designers. Obviously due to Bootstrap, importance of designers at very early startup stage has diminished significantly. This debate around Bootstrap seems really similar to enterprise web developers who used to use Java and C# complaining about Rails and Django a few years ago.
- josephcooney 15y agoReminds me of the think-geek t-shirt from days gone by "go away, or I will replace you with a very small shell script". If all you brought to the table can be replaced with a single CSS file and a little bit of javascript maybe your value proposition wasn't really what you thought it was.
- jasonlotito 15y agoSo... if it's a problem with designers not liking bootstraps stale design, why not build templates that use Bootstrap as a base and release them to the public? I really don't see the issue.
