I removed gradients, shadows, round corners...
You did a step forward: button gradients!
As many of you pointed out, the problem are bootstrap's updates. Maybe a script that removes .border-radius and converts #gradient in plain color is better
The devs should include a global-corner-radius setting in variables.less

But they rewrote the documentation too! And added their names. Seriously, this is a simple theme, nothing special, people have been theming bootstrap since it came out. Moving on then...
They clearly didn't. There's a ton of references to "Bootstrap" still in the docs. Clearly it was a half-assed copy/paste job.
A good next step for Bootstrap would be to create a centralized theme repository with the ability to select and change themes from a centrally-managed repository of approved themes. Almost like an npm for Bootstrap themes.

Comments like this annoy me. Open source zealots are always rambling on about how you can just "fork it and do what you want!" - and then when someone actually does , watch the pitchforks come out.

I'm not an open source zealot. I like open source, and I promote open source, but I also prefer when people try not to ride on other people's shoulders.
How is it intellectually honest to push for openness, but then to belittle people who use the rights the license gives them?
Very nice! I kept the gradients but got rid of rounded corners here http://fandalism.com/
If you are good at design, you wouldn't need to start from Bootstrap. If you are not so good at design, Bootstrap is a great framework, but using flat, all-square UI elements can cause some problems, you may be unaware of.
If you use Flatstrap, your Rounded boxes serve another function, where they draw the attention of the eye to the contents of the box -- It flows more pleasantly too [2] Designers going for the flat design trend, should carefully strike a balance between a completely flat design, and using subtle gradients, underlines, rounded corners, color, shadows and pseudo-3D to convey information that matches our expectations and wiring of our brains. [1] http://www.useit.com/alertbox/windows-8.html Flat styles reduce discoverability [2] http://uxmovement.com/thinking/why-rounded-corners-are-easie... tags, labels and buttons will all look the same. If, in the spirit of flatness, you'd also removed the inset shadow on form inputs, then all visual cues for either clicking (element is higher than the page) or form input (element is lower than the page) are gone. This reduces usability and discoverability. [1]
