Agreed. This is why I abandoned Bootstrap for Zurb Foundation. I found Foundation to be much more flexible and lightweight.
Bootstrap was so painful the moment you deviate from their styles. Similar to Rails when deviating from the "rails way".

If you have been developing your site with Bootstrap to-date, then you've very likely been using their style classes throughout. For example, if you setup a grid on a page, perhaps you did something like this:
<div id="home" class="row">
<div id="content" class="span10"> </div>
<div id="sidebar" class="span2"> </div>
</div>
Upgrading is just one example, another example is attempting to use Bootstrap to style an existing application where you do not have the ability (or only a limited ability) to change the HTML, but only the ability to inject a CSS "theme".
