I am going to chime in being negative against the wave of positive feedback here. Twitter has done well releasing this and when I first saw it ages ago it looked neat and fairly professional. However, like a pop song which has been completely overplayed on the radio it has become tired and frankly a bit annoying. It has its uses offline to quickly get a demo up and running but it shouldn't be used on a live site. At…

It's a framework - use it as such

I've found the best use for Bootstrap is internal sites and tools. The public never sees these tools so they are usually stuck with terrible UI and UX. Bootstrap makes these tools so much easier to write.

On the topic of the responsive design module - when I view my project on an iPhone/iPad it shows the full screen version of the site, rather than the mobile version. However, it shows the mobile version on a samsung phone.

Is there a reason for this?

The coolest new feature? Bootstrap 2.0 is completely responsive. This is what it looks like on different screen sizes: http://areyouresponsive.com/twitter.github.com%2Fbootstrap%2...

Neither of the examples fit in its frame.

"Just don't look 100% like a vanilla bootstrap site."

Unless you're targeting developers or Silicon Valley who cares? Most people couldn't tell you the difference between a Bootstrap site or a non-bootstrap site, even if they could its unlikely they would actually care. As a dev who admittedly sucks at CSS I'll take better looking and clone-like (and cross-browser) over ugly and unique any day.

Bootstrap is not overused; just under customized. In all fairness, what this proves is that there is a fairly large market for such packaged customization themes which are built thoughtfully and work on all resolutions.

This has already been proved by themeforest.net years ago with their admin templates

True. Clearly their time is divided into doing so many of those themes.

Instead, if they did a (or a few) authoritative themes with compass css with such good documentation as bootstrap and their theme works at all resolutions, I'm sure people will use that one too.

Last week 2.0 introduced me to the world of responsive design. Converted our current project to it. Higher ups are pleased and it saved me from creating a second "mobile" site. I am a fan.

Another great release from the chaps at Twitter. For those of us who are design-challenged, it's a great help for MVPs.

Now that it includes mobile flexibility, it's even better. I'll look at putting it toward my latest weekend hack: http://www.livelystocks.com
