I don't use Bootstrap/Foundation/etc. because:
- It doesn't really fit with my workflow. I find that when I use a framework I end up designing the copy, content, and functionality of my templates to fit within a given confine, which ticks me off. I prefer starting with the content that the page has to display and building the CSS up from there (it helps that I have more front-end experience than the average webdev.)
- I don't like the look of them, for the most part. Yes, you can customize them, but you can still tell who started with a Bootstrap template. No, most customers won't care (or even know what Bootstrap is), but I care, dammit, because I've seen a few dozen too many MVPs that never evolved their design past the "hey, lets change the nav bar to red" stage.
That being said, this is still incredibly inspiring. These frameworks are resulting in more people producing and publishing valuable work, which is awesome. I can't wait to see what the future holds for these projects.
