If a person isn't able to very easily customize Bootstrap with a minimal amount of CSS, I wonder if they're able to competently create their own front-end framework that works perfectly in every browser on every platform.
As someone who navigates the web primarily with a keyboard, sites that use Bootstrap tend to be more usable than sites that use front-end frameworks that were built from scratch. For example, in my experience, most designers and developers don't use :focus selectors when using :hover selectors because they only think about mouse-based navigation.

I evaluated Picnic CSS just now, and it doesn't use :focus selectors. This is what I'm talking about. In my experience, usually when developers release a solution (e.g., a framework) that's advertised as a lightweight alternative to Solution X, the lightweight alternative isn't really an alternative for developers who understand why Solution X isn't lightweight.
