Bootstrap creator here. tl;dr: First, thanks for the love everyone! Jacob and I love seeing people as excited about the future of Bootstrap as us. We're hopeful that this is just the beginning of it. And now, onto answering some of the questions/comments folks have brought up here thus far. Jacob left over a month ago and my last day is next Friday (10/5). He's going to Obvious, and (announcing it here for the first…

Wow, big news for Bootstrap. I think Matt and Jacob realize the huge impact they've made on the web development community and the potential Bootstrap has to become the jQuery of HTML. New developers may begin to ask, "should I learn HTML or Bootstrap?" It's not a far-fetched idea because the same question is sometimes asked by beginners when "deciding between" jQuery and (vanilla) JavaScript. jQuery plugins are ubiqu…
I like bootstrap, but only for bootstrapping my project...or using it for backend/admin styling. Bootstrap is really just a style guide (with some good styles for layout), however if you've got design comps to work from, it's probably better to make your own style guide. I mean, if they could somehow accomplish making this process easier, then that'd be a game changer: basically less like a framework and more like a…

If you had invented Bootstrap, you would have invented Bootstrap. Assuming what you are saying is true, credit would have been nice though.
I've now gone through multiple tutorials where the term is used to refer to Bootstrap from twitter or the general idea of bootstrapping an app.
Now each time I read "bootstrap" I've to establish the context which gets especially tricky when the same documentation or tutorial uses both Bootstrap from Twitter and the verb "to bootstrap".

Because history clearly shows that the rightful people always get credit. Ignoring things like Edison vs. Swan (invention of light bulb), or Marconi vs. Tesla (invention of radio), and likely hundreds of others cases that could be listed if I felt like typing that much. I know nothing about GP's post/claim, but dismissing claims offhand with some glib line from a movie is not really adding much enlightenment.
That's a great line as it encapsulates volumes into one catchy sentence, which apparently goes over the heads of some people.

Taking someone else's work and presenting it as your own is okay now?
