Bootstrap is in a class of its own for exactly what it is supposed to do; to allow a user to quickly set up a concept or prototype site.
The reason why I don't like Bootstrap is because many people use it like a free design template. A seasoned designer or developer can spot a Bootstrap site straight away because they're mostly used straight into production because "it follows best design practices". The huge rise in extensions and colour themes to Bootstrap only prove this.
- ProblemFactory 14y agoBootstrap as a "free design template" is great, when hiring a professional graphic designer and CSS expert are not an option. And even when it is, most restaurant websites in the world would be better off with a standard Bootstrap template rather than the horrid Flash+PDF designs that they currently use.
- EnderMB 14y agoSellotape is great when hiring a plumber isn't an option. It still doesn't make it a good solution when you want your sink to stop leaking. It's comments like these that make me wish I could downvote. It's this mentality that leads to Bootstrap being abused in the way I mentioned above.
