It doesn't. Sounds like there's a lack of imagination in that article or they're alluding to the inevitable result that people who possess neither the skills nor interest in making a visual customization of their site will leave it standing on the default theme, populating the web with a lot of sameness.
If it makes it easier for people to communicate faster, than I'm all for it.
- Loic 15y agoI wrote the article, so please let me try to reformulate a bit better. When you start with a so complete, consistent and well though base design, it is hard to introduce new original concepts. This is because these new concepts will have to somehow fit nicely with the base design. It is kind of attracting you to simply do incremental improvements not to lose the benefits of the base design. I am sorry, I am not a designer and not a native English speaker, this makes it a bit harder to formulate this correctly.
- jsavimbi 15y ago> I am not a designer Then why would you even be talking about Bootstrap, let alone criticizing it from a design point of view? You can take any past, present or future "original" concept and build it with Bootstrap. You do understand that, right? You are not limited to the default theme. If you're lazy, lack talent or interest then yes, your website will look pretty much the same as those of your peers, but then you can only blame yourself, not a CSS framework.
