• bootstrap

I'm talking specifically about Joomla & WordPress pre-fabricated templates that use the Bootstrap framework.

I hate bootstrap.  It's generic.  Very generic.  And as a developer, there's nothing I hate more than going to work on a site built by some amateur using a free or premium WordPress template - where bootstrap was used. And seeing all the unnecessary styles piled on top of each other over and over.  It's a giant mess.  Tons and tons of classes and styles crammed into elements everywhere.  Nothing comes out the way expected on the front end until you override the bootstrap styles.  It makes a mess out of what could be a nice clean template.
