What is the preferred method for a row that needs to span the entire width of the container? As in, without the 15px margin on the column? Just set the margins to 0px?
Can't you just not use a column? or not use a container at all? I think the second would be preferred way according to his post.
My problem with the Bootstrap grid is the strange choice of breakpoints, especially on the smaller screensize end. It's way too complicated to alter the given breakpoints or add custom ones with Bootstrap. I'd rather use something like Susy for grids. Not so much more effort to set up, but much less limitations. Are you really all ok with Bootstrap's breakpoints?
Personally, I use the SASS build, include only the most basic parts (scaffolding, type, grid, ...), customise the hell out of the variables, and you'd never know it was bootstrap. For reference, http://www.recruiteasy.com.au is a bootstrap-based site, using standard breakpoints.

IMO the smallest (fluid) size kicks in too early, but it's not hard to customise it. You can download a customised build[1], or override the LESS[2] or SASS[3] variables and build it yourself or incorporate it into your asset pipeline.

What to do if you need columns' sizes to be e.g. 7.5 and 4.5 ?
Is the Bootstrap 3 grid better than the one from PureCSS? I'm building a thing where I use PureCSS only for the grid so I'm wondering if I should replace it with Bootstrap.
