I have yet to see one of these Bootstrap-centric editors that is worth a monthly fee. Bootstrap is so well laid out and so well documented that I can't see many instances where this would that much of a time saver or worth the premium. Presumably a shop that is churning out basic site after basic site may benefit from the ease of use but I can't imagine that is a big market.

You should try http://pinegrow.com (I'm the author). It's a downloadable desktop app sold for $50 (no monthly fee).
It's the same for me. Bootstrap is so easy to build upon that it's much easier to just code it up than bang my head against another tool. I hardly need to write any CSS besides the minor customization of colors/fonts.

Maybe it's useful for people selling templates for a living, but they will most likely hit the limits of the tool pretty quickly (if they want to up their game).

I'm curious. What kind of users currently use this? Are they devs, marketing people or someone else?
