> Twitter Bootstrap is not the reason why everything looks the same. Except, Twitter Bootstrap filled that niche of a semi-generic framework distributed with a 'good-enough' design theme. In the web world I can't think of an example before. There were Wordpress theme frameworks that came without design and expected you to craft your own, and there were good designs created without thought for adapting the code. Nothing said you're not a designer, but build with this and it'll look good before. Now whether the 'Bootstrap look' became popular because of Bootstrap, or Bootstrap was buying into a design trend that was just starting I don't know. But both trended at the same time.
