bootstrap made easier?

That, to me, looks like a solution looking for a problem. If someone has heard of Twitter Bootstrap, they'll know how to modify it to look how they want.
I think when coding yourself, you have the disconnect of not being able to keep up with your imagination. I'm certainly against anyone's imagination being limited. That just seems very anti freedom to me. Why do you hate freedom, dchuk?
My thought is actually more along the lines of it being extremely rare that I don't want to customize various aspects of the interface in weird, non-standard ways, which inevitably would throw me back into code, which is probably not that much slower to just type up myself. Especially with handy tools like Zen Coding inside Sublime Text.
When working on a project I used to just start coding, I've realised that I always go back and move stuff around, often to incorporate new features/functionality that I didn't think about when I started coding.
Now I do wireframes (using https://gomockingbird.com/) for more or less the entire interface, thinking through how the system will work, the visual reference reminds me when I come to a page I thought up weeks ago. In doing this I often see problems sooner than I would have, or even decide the project isn't such a good idea after all. This approach separates the imagination part from the coding part to a certain degree but I find it gets stuff done quicker. Stuff does change along the way still but the wireframes prevent me deviating from my original vision too much, any big new ideas get written down and become part of the wireframes for v2.
To me divshot just looks like wireframes that you can get html/css from.
