IMHO, the themes are bloated with unmaintainable Javascript libraries and snippets, heavily dependent on scattered around CSS rules and files. If Bower (http://bower.io/) or Jam (http://jamjs.org/) was used, the themes would be actually useful instead of just beautiful demos.

Also, LESS is not used for the customizations, gradients, etc. made by the theme author, just for Bootstrap. Which is ridiculous. Compass & SASS would be a great alternative for maintaining such a large frontend effort. Bootstrap has been ported: https://github.com/vwall/compass-twitter-bootstrap

No real project can make use of that as-is, it's simply unmaintainable. Ask any serious frontend developer, he'll laugh at the workflow used to develop such themes.


This is really quite beautifully done. This seems like a really excellent example of a demo. Have you considered something like Joyride [http://foundation.zurb.com/docs/components/joyride.html] to show off the various features of the design?


this is pretty baller
