The only bad thing I see about Twitter Bootstrap, due to it's success, is that seems to be used everywhere and so many startup projects all look the same.

Do they all look different to people who aren't designers/devs? I don't know, but as a developer, when I see a new project I have become oblivious to the design and find it challenging sometimes to see past the "just another app built with twitter bootstrap" to find the application's true value

We have lived with the Windows and OSX aps looking the same but offering different functionality. Why can't web apps do that, and be more functional?

It's really just the buttons and nav bar. If you change the look of those then it doesn't look so... bootstappy.

That, and the fonts.

We all saw that coming. It's a bummer as adding your own "style", "theme", "whatever you want to call it" isn't that hard.

I think a lot of early stage startups are staffing less graphic art/design via their dependence on Bootstrap.

All in all, it is a sweet front end visual framework!

Bootswatch has the right idea but its templates are much too similar. And all the ones with any color have dark backgrounds.

in bootui we've tried to make some of the templates look totally non-bootstrapy. Of course custom bootstrap template requests are welcome! Do get in touch if you need something.
