   You can't fool your feelings. If you're stuck in a ditch, medication or "changing the way you think" (advice from other depressed people) won't help. You need to surround yourself with people you want to emulate as

   Forgive me for saying this, but Fireworks is nothing more than a modified version of Flash with a bunch of useless functions and a huge library of ugly stock graphics.

   Adobe Flash is way more suited for this sorta stuff. - Its UI is simpler and more intuitive - You have frames in addition to layers so you can organize your designs even better - You can animate stuff (real nice for mobile app mockups) - It

    Who cares about FusionCharts anyway when we have D3.js.

    Another example of this is the popularity of Linux (marketing) over OpenBSD (quality).

    They also need to radically simplify both their UI and their code base if they expect to remain among the top dogs this coming decade.

    Truly wonderful post. Curious though, could something like this be replicated with HTML5 and JS?

    Interesting link. Cheers mate. Unfortunately I do not have any more info on this subject.

    I think you misread. I was not being sarcastic, just trying to understand why Bootstrap is so popular.

    But in theory could something similar have been developed for OpenBSD?

    I'll take that with a grain of salt. For stronger arguments, see my other posts.

    My point is that you don't need Bootstrap to use media queries. Nor to manage quirks when there are way simpler solutions available on GitHub. These quirks are becoming less and less over time as well, as new browsers and devices start

    Indeed, as with my earlier link ( http://subtraction.com/pics/0703/grids_are_good.pdf ), I'm not arguing against grids as a design tool. I'm arguing against transferring them programatically to HTML and CS

    I take it they're preconfigured divs that clutter up your code and that are trying to solve a problem that doesn't really exist given the basic nature of CSS. If you absolutely need a grid, what about http://hashgrid.co

    Grids have been used in architecture for thousands of years. Sure, they might come in handy when drafting your webdesigns in Adobe or whatever, but not in the CSS. Just use your eyes and basic CSS. For true responsive websites, use media qu

    Can't you just put those elements in a <div> and manipulate that instead?
