It's probably unfair to single this site out, it loads rather fast. Though it requires too much useless js for my taste and little still means 63kb of external files that could probably be ~20kb in a custom stylesheet without loosing much if any functionality and looks.
There's a difference between what's your preference as a programmer and what someone else's is.
Framing it as an absolute where you shouldn't use two tools that make it easier to make a website is unnecessary and makes you look dogmatic rather than wise.
The author obviously had plenty of page weight to spare.
Thanks. I toyed with the idea of putting in a custom CSS. As some have said, the site doesn't have big requirements.
BUT, I wanted to have a play with Bootstrap, which I hadn't used before and it was/is comforting to have the ability to expand the look to include other features if I need to :)
