Why is there a movement to make every quickly-made website look like dull white/blue with a hint of beige? This is madness.
"Hack away on an app and have it look halfway decent" is a very, very poor attitude that portrays laziness and a disdain for the user. Halfway decent is the same as halfway sucks.
Halfway decent is better than completely unstyled mess of Times New Roman because the dev doesn't give a shit about design. Bootstrap can be considered the start of a website (hence the name) and you can style Bootstrap to not look like Bootstrap very quickly. As long as these snippets respect global styles like font, colors, etc. then this is a good resource.
If the "dev" doesn't give a shit about design, the dev shouldn't be touching the design! I've seen far too many "sites" that are not a start, but a finish, wrapped in the homogenized turquoise blandness that is bootstrap. Sure it's possible to wrangle the CSS into something that might look better, but by then the "site" is already pigeonholed into functionality and structure defined by someone who "doesn't give a shit about design."

I love you.
While I mostly agree to you, I'd say that it kind of makes sense to have the site look very much like standard Bootstrap in this case...
