Most of the sites which use bootstrap look the same. Just take a look at a few company websites or browse through the themes on themeforest.

Bootstrap has a lot of features to offer, CSS and JS wise, which is actually good, but to be honest, you're not going to use 50% of the shit anyways. If you really want to optimize your website in every possible way, you want to avoid to load any useless bytes of data. Which means you're going to spend a ton of time just to remove this shit. Of course you can make your own bootstrap package and use that what you want, but there will still be useless shit in there.

And the last point; a lot of creativity goes lost. If you make a design from scratch, you're starting to get creative and realize the ideas you have. With bootstrap, you can just google i.e.: "bootstrap testimonial layout" and copy/paste it to the template you're making.

Bootstrap is good which I won't deny and it offers a lot of stuff, but it doesn't offer something I couldn't make on my own.

That's just my point of view.
