Hey Everyone,
I found out today that Twitter Bootstrap 3 (my favorite framework) was released today and I already started building with it! I was wondering if anyone else has checked it out yet and if so what did you think? If you have not looked at it yet, check it out here: http://getbootstrap.com and come back and tell me what you thought.

Courses Plus Student 14,839 PointsHaha nice! I definitely love the improvements and they are adding more features. I am getting use to the flat design but do not hate it
Kevin Korte
28,148 PointsI agree, flat design has taken me some time to warm up too. It presents new challenges in it's own way. I really dig the new control V3 gives you over grids and grid position. I'm also slightly jealous your thread is getting more love than mine :)

5,127 PointsPersonally, I'm digging the flat design. But not for all types of websites. For example, it doesn't particularly appeal to me for a "service" website, unless the site is about the web.

28,148 PointsI'm usually on Bootstrap's Docs daily. I've noticed almost every day their documentation has evolved and changed. I would give it more time for for the docs to mature if you're having a hard time getting through it. There is no reason you can't still use 2.3.2 if that is where you are comfortable, and than convert over to 3 later if you so wish. If not, no biggie.
It took me probably 2-3 days to figure out 3 when I was so use to 2.3.2. Now that I do, I really like the added control they have given us with the grid system.
But certainly use what you like.
