I think there is some confusion. Just to be clear, Bootstrap is *not* the
default formstyle used by web2py -- the default formstyle is the generic
"table3cols" style. Bootstrap is used only in the web2py scaffolding app,
which is completely optional. The reason you see Bootstrap form styles in
the scaffolding app is because of this single line in db.py:
response.formstyle = myconf.take('forms.formstyle')
The forms.formstyle setting defined in the /private/appconfig.ini settings
file is set to "bootstrap3_inline". If you edit appconfig.ini or remove the
line above, you're back to the "table3cols" default.

As noted above, no need for this. Of course, you may need to define your
own formstyle to work with Semantic-UI, but that will be true for any
front-end framework with idiosyncratic forms markup requirements.

Hopefully it is now clear that the core framework *is *front-end agnostic
and not tied to Bootstrap. The front-end scaffold is based on Bootstrap,
but you can simply replace the layout.html and switch to whatever you want.
in this aspect i think weppy is in a more clever path.

weppy (like most other frameworks) provides no front-end scaffolding app at
all, so even if you simply remove web2py's front-end scaffold and start
from scratch, you are no worse off than you would be with weppy (where you
have to start from scratch whether or not you want to use Bootstrap).
