It is interesting to see that they recommend againts using Bootstrap:

  18F specifically does not recommend using Bootstrap for production work because of one, 
  the difficulty in adapting its opinionated styles to bespoke design work and two, 
  its CSS style places semantic layout instructions directly in HTML classes.

I agree with them. I work in an academic setting where accessibility is important, and Bootstrap makes a hash of semantics, which is bad for assisted reading systems that need it for navigation.

Accessibility is important for us too. What do you use if you don't mind sharing? There is a accessibility plugin for bootstrap from Paypal [1]. Have you ever tried it? Thanks.
