I don't want to be that guy but.. What's the point? Unless you are the most lazy ass on earth you still want to modify the style. And by style I mean, everything, to fit your design.

I'm not sure I understand your point? From my perspective, modifying is easier than making from scratch. The only time I've created buttons "from scratch" is when I was working with a graphic designer. As a developer, I always pull in things like this to speed up the process. It is undoubtably slower and would result in a worse final product if I attempt to learn all the details of what this person provides for free as a starting point.

I totally agree with wuliwong, infact I have never edited any design and have always used available ones(bootstrap) out of the box to save time as my motive as a developer is a clean working app than a beautiful app.

  Guys, I sit somewhere in the middle on this. In fact, I'd say the ever hated "it depends"...are you in the prototyping phase? Have you toggled off the Buttons you don't want in the Builder page? If you're really into customizing, have you just considered stealing some of the raw ideas and/or scss? Really, we wouldn't mind :) Here's another approach...say you just want the pills and like the general direction but want to tweak it: Go to the builder page, remove all but pills Go in to the _options.scss partial and tweak some more Optionally take all of what's left and then refactor to your liking I'd claim you save some time with above and still get a fully customized button. Regarding using something like Bootstrap "out of the box" is not something I'd personally want to do once getting my project into production...but again, I'm fine using for just prototyping and then tweaking the styles later. That said, to each is own

    And another analogy I'd point out is if you're in Photoshop (or in browser), and you use something like icomoon app to make a nice set of font icons and then style some texture/shapes/etc. behind it for something pretty nice. I feel like that would be a completely valid and workable approach...that said, sometimes you'd want to make the artwork from scratch yourself and that would be valid too

I agree to an extent. In corporates etc. you're going to be building from scratch because these things won't fit in with guidelines and it's easier to build from scratch. However, it's good for quickness when working on personal projects. That being said I do find this one a little overkill and more than what you'd probably want without creating custom builds etc. also some of the behaviour and styling doesn't work as I'd assume. For example, drop down isn't drop down, it's more like drop on.

I agree with part of your point - I probably won't be plugging it into a project and using it as-is, but I can appreciate the source being out there. I often check the source for projects I respect to see how they accomplished similar things to what I'm trying to accomplish. For those learning advanced CSS and hoping to roll their own button styles, this could be a useful resource.
