Besides the very good point Klaas comes up with here, is that Twitter Bootstrap has proven it's value for many, many big projects and websites. If you want to have a consistent UI, with usable and proven UI elements for navigation, dropdowns, balloons, or whatever this is the way to go imo or at least base our core/css/style.css-file upon it.
@Jan-Christoph Borchardt: Your point here is crap, and doesn't bring any value to the discussion: Funfact: No usability test participant ever said »strange, this website doesn’t use Bootstrap«. Because people don’t care. Let’s work on real issues." People DO care about a UI that is consistent, user-friendly and looks good. Bootstrap is bringing that faster to ownCloud than scratching your own itch, because a lot of (usability) test participants are already familiar with the UI-elements (because of they are used by big companies like Twitter, Google, etch etc). Afterall, I'm not saying Bootstrap brings us everything we ever wanted. But I AM saying that Bootstrap is a pretty solid base to work from, to bring ownCloud a consistant user interface and fix a gap between coders and designers.
