Is it just me or do the new buttons not really fit with everything else. They look very flat. But most other components have shadows and still look like old bootstrap

They actually don't look like buttons at all, which defeat the purpose of a button.

It's interesting that so many of the comments here (and often, those made about Bootstrap in general) focus on the aesthetic of a few form elements and not the utilities that come with the framework. Understandable, I guess, as they're the most obvious when you load up the page! I've been playing with the 3.0.0-wip branch for a little while, and I think that there are a couple of really cool features that should be n…

Well there is no Scaffolding section so it's hard to know what changed beside the aesthetic.

If anyone is looking for a basic summary of "What's new", the best I found was their blog post about plans for v3:

Those new badges are a real nice addition http://rc.getbootstrap.com/components/#badges

Are you referring to the addition of active nav states? The rest has been around for a while: http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/components.html#labels-b...

Looking at the grid i noticed the 1-column divs change size. e.g. 41px - 42px - 41px - 42px - etc. When resizing in smaller displays it behaves different: 25 - 25 - 24 - 25 - 25 - 25- 24 - etc. Was this always the case in bootstrap? I don't really understand the reason for this. It seems odd.

Modal is still a disaster.

I suspect that will be because the primary grid is now based on percentage values rather than fixed pixel values. When you're splitting a grid into columns using percentage widths, often the browser has to make a choice between rounding up or down to the closest pixel value for display.

The fluid grid has long been a part of Bootstrap, but until now has generally been secondary to the fixed 12-column grid, which used strict pixel values.

Mobile first? There are a ton of broken examples on my iPhone (grids, inline elements, etc.).
