Is that the way sites will be built in the future or is it just the dumbing down of the web even more?

Thoughts?

It will get so easy that you'll be able to drag and drop whatever you want wherever you want and it will look as good as the best mainstream site. It is inevitable.

yea it makes it almost idiot proof to do some of the more advanced functions on a site. I have not personally tried it yet to see if thats true tho.


I am also curious if anyone has used some of the functions on a site and how they worked out.. any pros or cons...

It has me excited to try some new things. I haven't had the urge to build anything new lately but now I do.

Thanks to the OP for posting this.

Exactly what I am kinda doing and why I posted it for any feedback before I did try..

After some work with it, the conclusion is as follows.

Bootstrap is a BIG css/javascript framework that makes site creation much more easy and fast.
On the downside, you will probably only use 1/3 of all it's features on any site you develop, but everything will be loaded from the surfer delaying page load and rendering and causing a bit of extra bw usage on your side.

So far, we are adopting some of the ideas and removing the functions and css parts we will not need. For example, the forms code is completely useless for a movie gallery.

Lets say it's a toolbox with everything you may need to make a site, but it's in your best interest to remove some unused tools on a high traffic site.

I wouldn't say it's dumbing down the web, it's simply opening up resources to more and more people. It's the same as wordpress, blogger, etc. It's a new utility that let's novice users take their website that much further.
