4 grid system: o Extra small always stays
horizontal o Small, medium, large grids
stack after breakpoint
LESS CSS, and now a Sass option as well!
Not much LESS/Sass documentation on Bootstrap site
Less of an expectation that you will work with LESS/Sass
You want to build a responsive front-end quickly.
You need lots of styling out of the box.
You love LESS CSS. You love open source. You hate semicolons in your
JavaScript.
