Exactly my experience as well.  Let&#x27;s use a grid and the bootstrap elements!  <i>designs come in without grid in mind, and no bootstrap elements</i><p>Though I do agree with the article in some respects. Bootstrap can be a bloat on a heavily designed site. You end up only using the grid for instance, and there are lighter weight frameworks for that.<p>Bootstrap is a godsend to strapped IT departments with no designers backing them though.  Can really break the old schoolers out of table based layouts and nice pretty buttons quickly.<p>I leaned more heavily on Bootstrap when initially wrapping my head around RWD, but now that it has &quot;clicked&quot; in my brain, I&#x27;ll be switching off of Bootstrap to something smaller. Bourbon and Neat more than likely, but I do need to look into Pure CSS too.
