Bootstrap 3 template tools
Why have I decided t0 use Bootstrap 3 instead of 2 for my new project? I'm searching for new and simple templates made with Bootstrap 3. There aren't many options online but you can build your own template using different tools. BS3 is newer and I really love the new features such as font awesome and new glyphicons. The layout samples look very simple and clean. The icons and CSS are more optimized and responsive.

- Paintstrap is very cool: use Adobe Kuler or Colorlovers to choose your theme colors and then generate your layout with Paintstrap! Imagine if you can apply all color manually: this will let you avoid to do this boring job :)
