Fair enough. I guess I've read a few articles lately such as "stop using carousels", "do this, do that"... and your article tipped me over the edge!
If you can make a living making websites with bootstrap, that's great. Many of your clients won't even know you copied and pasted, then spent the rest of the day playing Crysis.
All these templates and frameworks however, should be tools in your shed that you choose to use or not depending on the build requirements. Relying on one tool is risky, and may prevent your skills improving in web dev in general.

Thanks for reminding me of what you have no business reminding me of.
Yet another article telling me what I am, what I should and shouldn't do.
The flip side is that HTML and CSS is not rocket science. It's rewarding and valuable to build your own sites.
If your code is "untidy at best" I would recommend you find another job where you skills don't amount to "untidy". Good luck.
I love building sites too and I find it even more rewarding building on top of Bootstrap.
While it's not rocket science some of us enjoy a little help. Don't take my word as gospel, it's just an opinion.
I don't do this for a living yet but hopefully one day soon...
