[wp-hackers] best way to check for bootstrap

[Madalin Ignisca]

That's nice to find out of a plugin that alters gravity forms output
optimized for Bootstrap.

You could create an options page with a simple question: load bootstrap or
not?

Let the user choose.

I found the slug for bootstrap named in dozens of ways by theme authors and
you can't keep up with them as nobody respects a standard like use
something like "bootstrap" and "bootstrap-component". If everybody would do
that, we would have a better world :D

I think that leaving the option to the user to disable loading bootstrap
from your plugin is the best way, so play with conditions ;)
