If nothing else, it's easier to override with your own styles.

Exactly. In BS 2 it was such a pain to remove the gradients from buttons, the box-shadows from inputs and all the other extra UI effects that you didn't want to use.

Like the text-shadow on buttons. Yuck to remove.

Meh, at some point they should start to realise that you can't change everything every release and expect everyone to keep up. It feels like it's becoming more of a chore than the real initial win it was able to deliver on first release.

You don't need to stay up to date with this kind of frameworks. It isn't like every update has security fixes.

The company I work for uses several versions of Bootstrap 2 and we have no issue dealing with it. Newer projects will use BS3, but we don't need nor feel the need to update every project.

Other than the grid, it looks like all the classes and markup are the same.

I wish the examples used more semantically meaningful html5 elements where appropriate, but that's not too big of a deal.

I don't think I get the new grid system. .col-12 .col-lg-8 What's going on here? If I were to guess, I'm assuming it's going to be 12 columns if its a mobile, 8 if a tablet or a desktop. In what situation would that be useful? It looks like you'd end up with some pretty complicated mark-up quickly like that.

Yes, that is exactly what that means.

A little further down, there's examples: http://getbootstrap.com/css/#grid

They suggest that it doesn't end up awfully complicated. I could see how you could use it to make something complicated, but it seems to me that if you use it sparingly at the top-most level of markup, it shouldn't be too bad.

Exactly that. It's useful if you want that particular content to span the whole width on mobile, but only 60% of the width on desktop (and make room for a sidebar, for instance).

    |----col1------| on mobile
    |----col2------|
    
    |--col1--||col2| on desktop
Handy.

That looks like Internet Explorer. What version are you running?

firefox actual version ... this happens after clicking the button!

Portuguese speaker? "Current" version is the English word I believe you meant to use.

I noticed last night that the forms have been cleaned up a bit and outfitted with new class names

While simple, I believe Panel and Listgroup are new components; nice to have those nicely implemented and styled in the framework. Will be handy for me. In many ways I think Bootstrap helps the most with the little things like this. I am very appreciative of this terrific framework being made available for us to use.

Oh, I missed the forms. I haven't had much call to use them in my current project, so I missed those.
