I 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.
