Bootstrap is awesome to learn, we're looking into adding PSD to Bootstrap as a service ourselves. You can check out these video tutorials:

Bootstrap is much more than just a css framework. If you know some css/html/jquery you can have a feature rich custom website up and running in a matter of hours.

Personally, before I developed my own framework, I loved Bootstrap (and still occasionally do). There's really two frameworks in the same class: Bootstrap and Foundation.

Foundation is a favorite, because it's mobile first, Sass based, truly responsive, has smaller js files and a fast growing fan base!

But honestly, it's a toss-up. If you need IE 8 support, a non-responsive design, or want to develop on the framework with the largest community, you want Twitter Bootstrap. If you love ZURB products and want to integrate further into their suite of tools and products or you want to develop a mobile-first experience, Foundation 4 is a great way to go.

Either way, it's hard to go wrong. Both frameworks offer a lot of capability in a quick free download.

Here's a quick comparison though:

Grid system:
- Bootstrap = 960 non-responsive/ multi-break responsive
- Foundation = single-break responsive

CSS Components:
- Bootstrap = Mostly Shared, Media Objects, Typeahead, Affix, Popovers
- Foundation = Mostly Shared, Pricing Tables, Joyride, Clearing

Javascript:
- Bootstrap = jQuery
- Foundation = Zepto

Browser Support:
- Bootstrap = IE8
- Foundation = No IE8

Community:
- Bootstrap = LARGE and in charge
- Foundation = Small, but integrates well

"Is it just going to be trend that will eventually be outdone by something better?"

Does it matter if it is a trend? Everything you use will eventually be outdone by something better.

As someone mentioned above, there is also Foundation. Bootstrap is excellent! You can't go wrong. There is a SASS version available if you're into that. But if you're worried about trends, learn the fundamentals: grid systems, responsive design, CSS compilers.

Bootstrap is awesome.

I use codeigniter as the framework of choice for me. I've integrated bootstrap with this. It means I just create a new instance of both, concentrate on the views and pretty much within a few hours a site is up and running and mobile.

Honestly tho, I much prefer using HTML5 Boilerplate as currently the bulk of my work is mobile and Twitter Bootstrap is a lil too heavy for 3G.

I honestly think bootstrap is awesome. Its great and the learning it is not too hard. I love bootstrap documentation.

Bootstrap is an open-source Javascript framework.Bootstrap was also programmed to support both HTML and CSS
