Ask HN - What is wrong with Bootstrap?
I see different views about Twitter Bootstrap. Yesterday, Joomla became the first CMS to go on board with Bootstrap.
People around see it as a use-and-throw framework as it is suitable to start a project but not end with it.
There have been a lot of brouhaha about it, mostly because of its noisy Twitter roots and it looks to have won over HTML5boilerplate or 960 grid systems.
It certainly has lot of juice than its competitors, but it is having its fair share of criticism. I have personally used for some projects but I usually find it bloat. Yet it works most of the times. Its mobile architecture is flawless.
Yes, there are no fancy design elements apart from colored buttons, rounded corners etc. and it requires adding a lot of backgrounds, borders etc. to make it appealing for a common website.
Can some experienced minds on HN enlighten more for Bootstrap or, if it is not a right way, a suitable alternative which can look good on every hardware. Infinite grid, at http://www.alistapart.com/articles/the-infinite-grid/ looks promising, but the execution is flawed.
