I really can't see the point. I would definitely pay for a frontend framework which makes me design in less time and focus more on backend coding but from what I have seen this is just a... bootstrap theme with a psd, without offering anything more than bootstrap goodness.

It's tough to shell in $150 for a product that is simply putting a flat skin over bootstrap items, but I guess there is a market for that.

I've been using a free bootstrap UI toolkit from http://guitoolkits.com/bootstrap-gui-toolkit/. They seem to have it for different tools (including powerpoint).

Waste of money if you ask me. My opinion of this theme is that it provides a very poor user experience. The buttons do not look clickable at all. Unless you hover over them, which is useless on a mobile device

I much prefer Almost flat UI such as Gmail and http://websymphony.net/almost-flat-ui

Fundamental attribution error? Just because they spam doesn't make their products less trustworthy.

I agree, it's a signal, but it's not an overall determiner.

An interesting counterpoint is AirBNB spamming Craigslist in their early days.

Another counterpoint is Zynga and their 'scamville'.

With AirBNB, I think all is forgiven - great company thru and thru... one might think it was part of their hustle? With Zynga that DNA was perhaps indicative of something that destined to be very pump and dump.

I hate it, but sometimes a little 'cheating' during a growth phase can make or break the success of a company.
