This guy is a freelance designer. He hates bootstrap because he can't get work making simple styles to forms and other web elements because with Bootstrap, this work is already done!

Clearly biased... why not use Bootstrap in production? Just add your own branding to complement it!

I'm actually not freelance, I'm employed full time, and I get numerous job offers every week even so. It has nothing to do with me getting work, that's not an issue. It has to do with standards.

I explained clearly why you shouldn't use it in production, that was the entire point of the post. Trying to add your own complimenting styles usually does little to disguise the fact that it's just bootstrap. I've seen loads of sites that do this, they just add a couple divs with bigger fonts and a couple background images and call it a day - immediately recognized as bootstrap.

Where in his post did he say he hates bootstrap for the reason you offered?

I agree with him on the uniqueness issue. It's a valid point.
