I'm building a MVP at the moment and whilst I have a basic understanding of HTML and CSS, I am looking towards Bootstrap to get things going. We started with a simple LaunchRock landing page [1], but now we want to hook the site up to MailChimp, do a bit of A/B testing and also start building elements of our platform using RoR.

I don't want to deal with the nightmare of using Wordpress as the front-end for this, so Bootstrap seems like a lean way of going about this.

Forgive me if I'm asking a completely n00b front-end question. If you ask me why Bootstrap, it's basically because of its popularity, and how easy I've found it to set something up in a few minutes. I know Foundation is pretty powerful too, but since I've already started with Bootstrap, I figure I don't have a real reason to pivot to something else at the moment. Any reason I shouldn't be considering Bootstrap? Any pitfalls I'm unaware of?

The only real pitfall re Bootstrap in my opinion is that Bootstrap sites (especially Bootstrap 2) tend to look, well, bootstrap-y if you don't customize things.

If you want to pay a few bucks instead of customizing things yourself, check out Wrapbootstrap and/or Bootswatch.
