Agreed. Look, I'm not saying do this for everything but if you want to stick with Bootstrap default or don't want to mess with the settings too much, or just aren't a front-end dev per se, at least use those techniques stated in the article. I did it for my own projects but I've also built other projects where I just pasted in some BS stuff that I found fitting (for example, their table styles). Rather than stick with the default (for rapid app/site devs), spend that extra small amount of time to make your product distinct. If you're working long-term on a larger project, i don't suggest this as the route to take (ie. customize bs and just stick with that) and agree with you that things SHOULD be more customized to what you need.
