I share the same opinion. Big CSS Frameworks like Bootstrap offer a really good time boost if you wanna build a prototype or admin interface. But when it comes to implementing a custom web design, it doesn't give you any advantage. You have to mutate everything, color, padding, position, etc. And if the framework offers "configuration" through e.g. SASS variables, you can be sure that half of the stuff is not configurable or there will be a configuration file with hundreds of variables.
