I love bootstrap, but I'm completely unconvinced about the flat trend. My site, www.liberwriter.com is squarely aimed at non-technical people who are not really on top of the latest trends. I could very easily envision them having a higher cognitive load trying to figure out what is a button and what isn't and so on. What do testing and studies show about this?

There are none. Web design trends like flat design are fashion.

Your site do need a designer to stack things properly. I'll suggest you to do A/B testing on your site with the bootstrap 3 and see the stats.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

there is such a thing as plain border-radius: 5px, you know? I think mixin's are generally overused; having to maintain css as well as right it, I'm quite happy with a syntax that doesn't encourage their use. If you need em: fine, but the you won't care about @include vs. "." anyhow.

As I'm sure you well know, a mixing includes vendor specific prefixes. And the whole point of mixins is to make it easier to maintain. Once they're written, you don't need to worry.

Unless you're supporting Firefox 3.5 for some weird reason, you haven't needed vendor prefixes for almost two years.

Well, it seems like some of those are either not fixable, or not worth the hacks to make Bootstrap 100% consistent across generations of browsers.

bs3 is mobile first also

That's interesting to read, beccause on my iPad 4 BS3 is very sluggish. Buttons visibly wait to show any change, menus the same. I don't have this problem with BS2. Maybe when it ships this will have been eliminated.

Hm, I'm experiencing that as well (probably to somewhat less extent) on a mini. Very strange.

Bears repeting: IE8 is at < 8% global share, < 5% in many markets, and effectively 0% for any tech-related business. Google has dropped support almost a year ago. Mobile and Safari are way bigger concerns.
