Your process and conclusion are very similar to my own. What made me abandon Bootstrap was how often I had to write incredibly specific overrides to get the results I wanted. My selectors got more and more specific and required more and more weight to inherit the styles the way I wanted. It also felt disingenuous to apply a generic style library to my client’s sites when my job was to create something custom tailored to their tastes and needs. All that just lead me to the conclusion that bootstrap was not saving me time or making my designs better: the two things it’s supposed to do.
