#3PayPal's _home page_ redesigned. The interior is still as outdated as ever.

#4Maybe it's just me, but everything is starting to look a "Twitter Bootstrappy" these days...

#5That "Take the Tour" button is the stupidest thing I've seen in years.

#6... and nothing has changed once you login. As a PayPal user I'd rather have my dashboard/account views redesigned rather than an overhaul of a landing page I will never look at for more than half a second...

Could be you. Or it could be me.
Either way I associate Bootstrap with bold fonts, bold colours whereas this is muted. Reminds me of Kissmetrics actually.

#8Wasn't this on here a few weeks ago?
Anyways, PayPal has been due for an update for a couple years now. As for why it doesn't change when you log in, the main reason PayPal's doing this is to compete with startupy new companies like Square and Stripe in terms of new customer acquisitions. Those new customers won't leave PayPal after tying in their bank accounts, etc., so PayPal isn't as worried about retaining them.

#9Saw this about a week ago on the homepage of HN. It's a substantial improvement and the reason the logged in view hasn't been redesigned is because Paypal is in the business of making money, if you change anything in the process that makes them money and you annoy or confuse 1% of your visitors when you're a site like Paypal that is a lot of lost cash.
Give it time, there will be a redesign of the logged in view eventually but as it stands I like the logged in view I know it well and it works.

I think it's a combination of:
* the dark top bar;
* the blue gradient buttons;
* it's primarily a 1-column layout with a 3-column segment ('buy into being safer' &c.)
None of those Bootstrap-specific, of course, but they are increasingly common as a result of it.
