Agreed. I've mostly forgone using bootstrap-like foundations because of this issue. It's a lot easier to build something custom from scratch than to undo all the bootstrapped stuff. Maybe it gets you some pretty button styles off the starting block, but later when you really need to fine-tune your UX, it's hard to disentangle what you want from what's "in there". Plus, I find it a lot easier to create semantic markup when I can choose the class names and structure myself rather than using things like "col-256" which force you to create extraneous markup.
- tracker1 14y agoI've found that starting with the source .less files makes it easier to customize, and not include what you don't need... like using FontAwesome for the icons. I do find that bootstrap is a bit too prescriptive in terms of it's offerings, and hope that it can grow a bit. I like where it is a lot better than jQueryUI for example, but find that the more sites that use it with minimal changes, the more you notice it.
