I was hoping to see a discussion of how to separate out the structure of bootstrap and the appearance of bootstrap so that as you grow and change you have neat separation of concerns and single reaponsibility.
Instead, they trotted out the old "<div class="nav"> is bad, <nav> is good" semantic web fetishism. And while yes, nav seems easier for a robot to understand, As soon as you start defining custom components you loose much of that robotic awareness because now you have to program the parser to handle unanticipated element types, and mis-use of element types. So on net you're at best a little better off than you were with <div class="nav"> And definitely more complicated.
I'd love for someone to prove to me how semantic naming actually helps. To me it seems like the XML vs JSON debate where we are piling complexity on chasing after an impossible goal of machines being able to consume data without having to know the context of the data. Unless I am missing something, I think we'll look back at this period of time in HTML structuring and scratch our heads like we are doing now at the XML fad.
