I'm also wondering about this. We're thinking of using Bootstrap as a
starting point for future projects, but usually like to have background
color/images as an option. Definitely need the outer padding for anything
other than white-on-white designs (no visible edges).
- Was any conclusion made on best practices here?
- When you say it could be a 'nightmare' with responsive layouts, how so?
We would like to have the full power of flude/responsive layouts using
default Bootstrap as much as possible, but the outer padding is usually a
good idea to give the most flexibility in design.
