Are there some famous projects that I can see concrete examples of use of this this project? This seems pretty cool but I still couldn't get it.

You usually won't know a web page is actually using H5BP, especially without looking at the source. Two websites using it: http://creativecommons.org/ http://creativecommons.org/, http://www.barackobama.com/ http://www.barackobama.com/

One of the ways to know, before the new release which sadly kills it, was that many sites didn't customize the default hot pink text-selection background color. Select text and get hot pink? You knew it was the boilerplate.

    Also I imagine many wouldn't customize 404 too much

      The 404 you usually had to hook in yourself depending on your server & framework, so that was way less likely.

Right from the frontpage (check the links over there): "Who uses HTML5 Boilerplate? Google, Microsoft, NASA, Nike, Barack Obama, Mercedes-Benz, ITV News, BAE Systems, Creative Commons, Australia Post, Entertainment Weekly, Racing Green, and many more."

It's biggest purpose is to normalize html across all main browsers, and make them as supportive of HTML5 as possible. You can put any other frontend framework on top of H5BP - Bootstrap, Foundation, etc. It's not mutually exclusive.
