Glad to see that Bootstrap 2.0 is out. Been following along on the 2.0-wip for the last couple days and very impressed with the new Responsive Design. One slight problem (Chrome, Mac OSX Lion): http://i.imgur.com/SOrUZ.png

Your browser is probably loading in the CSS and/or image assets from it's cache of what Bootstrap v1.4 looked like, thus looking mangled when it runs the 2.0 HTML structure. A couple of refreshes (does Chrome have Shift + R for forcing reload without cache?) should sort it out.

Chrome, annoyingly, has never implemented hard reload.

Can someone compare and contrast Boostrap 2.0 with ZURB Foundation? I've been using Foundation for a new project and am really digging the responsive layout features.

While Bootstrap probably lets you bootstrap (hoho) faster, I still would choose (very subjectively) choose foundation. For one, you would wanna distinguish yourself from all those bootstrap-themed MVPs out there.

is it just me that can't find them, or is the documentation on form fields not included on v2 docs? I know they were there on previous docs.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It may be my slow data connection, but it seems as though AreYouResponsive is not, in fact, responsive.

Here we go, recursion: http://areyouresponsive.com/areyouresponsive.com/areyourespo...

Whoa. That freaked out Chrome in a bad way.

Love the new stuff - any reason why you removed the animation effects of button presses? I always thought that was one of the coolest pieces of bootstrap

Are you talking about the transitions? If so, they're still included. I think it's just grayed on the plug-ins list because it's required for all the other plug-ins. If you download the full repository (http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/download.html), bootstrap-transition.js is included.

My only fear is that widespread use of these kind of pre-designed frameworks might create a homogenized web.

I understand that you can re-skin but I'm thinking many folks will go with the pre-built look/feel.

Even so, this is awesome for getting stuff out quickly. Great job.

This is awesome! Major improvements since 1.4.

Even though the main use case for Bootstrap seems to be for rapid prototyping, any thoughts on using it for a production app (but perhaps custom-themed), instead of rolling a custom design altogether? It seems Bootstrap has matured to the level that it can be used as for most projects with little customizations if any. A lot of what I read in the comments imply that Bootstrap is great at prototyping an app and once that phase is over, you throw it all out and start developing a custom design based on what has been prototyped. Why can't one just stick with Bootstrap and customize it as needed?

I had similar concerns when I first started noticing bootstrap used on random websites I encountered. However, I think bootstrap will probably help increase the lower bound quality of sites while designers pushing the envelope will continue to do so, without or without bootstrap as a starting point.

Has anyone compared this to the Skeleton responsive grid? I like that the styling on skeleton is more minimalist, but worry that I'm missing on some features from Bootstrap.
