"It's been said here before, but I'm fairly sure the only people "disappointed" and "annoyed" at the many sites using Bootstrap are web developers. Of course we notice UI frameworks because it's our job to create websites."

Are you sure you meant Web Developers? It sounds like you meant Web Designers.

I wouldn't use Bootstrap for any client-facing website, but other agencies I know have tried it and those that work on the lower-end of the client scale have had trouble with clients not wanting to pay when the look of certain elements looks almost exactly like those on other sites they've been to.

Bootstrap is a decent tool, but it has been abused by non-developers and non-designers that cannot develop or design their own pages. It's hardly surprising, and it's a testament to how good Bootstrap can be. However, I hope that Twitter eventually scales back some of Bootstrap to allow people that use it for its intended use to get more out of it.

I've been using Bootstrap more and more for mostly one reason: it's responsive grid. I'm sure there are alternatives, but it required very little effort to find Bootstrap and it does what I need it to do effectively. The other features are a bonus I can choose to use or to leave out.

Most of BS's javascript features need to be loaded separately and if you use LESS, you can scale back a huge chunk of the CSS if you don't plan to use certain CSS features.
