Bootstrap 3.0 is currently looking like it's going the flat route, though it's still rounded. You can check it out on the 3.0.0-wip branch on Github.

#33These are nice, but I wish they hadn't picked the exact same shade of green as Layer Vault ( https://layervault.com/ )…
I was actually going to post thanks layervault. Wow. Is it really that hard to do original work.

#34Very nice looking. Bootstrap 3 is actually headed towards a flatter look (a little like this), so buttons and the nav-bar don't have gradients in the newest version of Bootstrap by default.
Where can I preview Bootstrap 3?

You mean turquoise? It's a pretty commonly used colour.
In terms of exactness, it isn't the same colour either.

#37This is particularly interesting in the context of the widespread accusation that flat UIs tend to have worse discoverability (example: http://www.nngroup.com/articles/windows-8-disappointing-usab... ). If you inspect the key navigational and menu elements, they did a pretty nice job making it visually obvious (with hover states, borders, shapes etc.) what kind of functionality those flat blobs of color offer. ;)
Related to your point about UI discoverability, I really like this article on the concept of "Almost Flat Design".

This points out how important and useful the subtle and tasteful use of gradients and shadows can be within flat designs.

#38I think it's a bit too raw - unpolished at places. The "Messages" menu item for example; the red notification circle with the count of unread messages is off in padding. Some icons are a bit fuzzy when they should be clear (http://dribbble.com/shots/492245-Idiot-Tip-2, if you don't follow me).
Why do people insist on creating a ton of bootstraps, straps or "Web UI Kits"? Let me rephrase the question, why do people want to make the web look the same? These days all I see is some site with Twitter Bootstrap on it and I'm pretty sure it's proven that it's really rare when someone bothers to use those UI kits or straps and make them their own, so in the end you don't help developers with those things, you make them more lazier.

To be fair, you only notice when it does look the same - you don't notice when someone has customized it successfully.
