> One of my biggest issues with Bootstrap (and similar frameworks) is that, beyond a certain point, you find yourself overriding and customizing them to such a degree that it's more productive to just build your own "vanilla" components I think Bootstrap was meant as components ready to be used out-of-the-box as they are, but not necessarily easy to extend and customize. I think what we need is a framework that makes components easy to create and extend, and then build a widget library on top of it that provides the most commonly needed components/UI patterns. If the components where easy to understand and extend, then we can just look inside them, copy paste and make our own by modifying just the part that we need. The problem is that they are not, in the case of Bootstrap these seem to be quite extended set of jQuery based components that you can spend a lot of time debugging to understand how they work, and modify them to do what we need.
