I think the bigger reason why Bootstrap is important is that it is getting designers and developers to think about style guides and modular design/code. Every application should have some sort of bootstrap-style style guide/code base of reusable elements & modules to create a consistent look and make development easier. Bootstrap is not the first to do this and there are others like Foundation by Zurb which shouldn't be overlooked. |

I work at a fairly large company and we just redesigned one of the sites and it was based on what I would call a "modified" bootstrap. Just enough to make a lot of the elements proprietary, but extendable to the rest of the companies websites who are all using different styles and designs. The future is really to move all these sites to this kind of modular approach.
It also makes it easy for incoming devs to get up to speed and keeps the code consistent. You don't have to come up with crazy class names and spend hours trying to figure out what the last developer was doing. In general, it just makes everybody's job a lot easier.
