In the documentation pages they have inexplicably moved the navigation links to the right side.

We'll see how it goes—if enough folks complain, we can revisit :). I wanted the content to be in the absolute forefront with this update. That meant not affixing the top navbar and downplaying the side nav. I think it's super helpful, but again, I'm open to reversing things again if it'd be better for more folks.

Love the Sass port. My one complaint with Bootstrap is that its grid system uses float instead of inline-block. Is it easy to use a different grid system with Bootstrap without breaking its other components?

I've not played with `inline-block` grids enough to be honest, but I've made a note to revisit it in v4.

Bootstrap has made my life monumentally easier for developing internal apps, yet I still feel like something isn't perfect. When developing mobile pages, I feel that the responsive interface is still not mobile-friendly enough for CRUD apps. I've played with RatchetUI (Which has Bootstrap members on the team), Semantic-UI, and Foundation, but the more-widespread adoption of Bootstrap keeps dragging me back in. I gues…

Defining all 4 screen sizes gets tedious. That aside, The new landing page on http://getbootstrap.com/ looks great

Great? Looks bland. Anyone else have a weird box sitting under the download button? http://i.imgur.com/U5OyI7g.png

I think "bland" is what they were going for since this version of Bootstrap is more barebones stylistically and it's up to the developer to make it look the way they want.

That weird box displays as an ad for me.

Official Sass port. That's pretty big news.

Where does it say Sass support? I am not seeing it.

At the expense of not Googling it on my own, can someone provide a quick rundown of why this is a big deal? What's the difference between Sass and LESS?

Using Bootstrap pretty much meant that you had to use LESS, now you can choose between Sass and LESS. The differences are not that big, though.

In addition to what has been said by others, the Rails asset pipeline supports Sass out of the box. Now Rails developers can use Bootstrap without bringing in third-party LESS support into Rails.
