Hear, hear. This is a common issue for me as well. I have several forms in my web apps where I would like to use space more effectively by placing short fields (e.g. Start Date / End Date) next to each other under longer fields.

At the moment, I have to do the dance of creating a new "row" class and two "col-lg-6" DIVs to manually arrange these while still keeping things responsive (i.e. so the shorter fields appear under each other on smaller devices).

Would be nice if we could switch "form-inline" in and out easily on a normal vertical form, for sure.

I hear you two. I'll look into it for the beta. Opened an issue at https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/issues/21581 — feel free to chime in with any specific examples or requests.
Your link is broken. I think you meant this: https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/issues/21581
It's these sorts of tight feedback loops that makes HN great. Thanks for all of your hard work!
Complex forms, that's exactly why I switched from bootstrap to grid forms (http://kumailht.com/gridforms/) then to material design (http://forms.viewflow.io/demo/bank/)
