Switching from jQuery Mobile to Twitter Bootstrap

This seems like a superficial dive. JQM has a ton of things Bootstrap doesn't, like separate pages based around div tags, hierarchical navigation and app-like transitions between those pages.

Not disagreeing with most of the points raised, but I don't think its the full story.

I get a lot of questions about how I did page routing and page transitions when I transitioned. I ended up writing just a few lines of JQM-inspired page changing code - since it's a PhoneGap app, I didn't need to worry about changing the URL properly - just changing DIV visibility and some event triggering. When I was using jQM, I had disabled transitions, so I didn't go through any effort in re-implementing those in Bootstrap.

But, yeah, if you're really keen on that stuff, then my choice may not be the one for you.

Exactly - these are two different tools with two different purposes. Glad he could opt for the TBS responsive stuff in this case but it's misleading in general.

got the same feeling. plus bootstrap actually makes use of jquery.
