Are there some famous projects that I can see concrete examples of use of this this project? This seems pretty cool but I still couldn't get it.

You usually won't know a web page is actually using H5BP, especially without looking at the source.

Two websites using it: http://creativecommons.org/, http://www.barackobama.com/

"The web's most popular front-end template". With the popularity of Bootstrap, this claim seems unbelievable.

Bootstrap is a very good friend of Boilerplate.

One of the ways to know, before the new release which sadly kills it, was that many sites didn't customize the default hot pink text-selection background color.

Select text and get hot pink? You knew it was the boilerplate.

Also I imagine many wouldn't customize 404 too much

Let's have a moment's silence for our dear departed friend, #fe57a1.

I've actually brought it back on my downloaded copy; it's a color that never clashes with text colors I assign, and stands out pretty well.

Yeah, the new default selection color makes text completely unreadable for me...
