When has development degraded to "just use a framework"?
Since when people don't want to solve the same boring problem repeatedly.

#32Earlier quoted context omitted.
Skeleton is perfect. https://github.com/dhg/Skeleton/blob/master/css/skeleton.css It's tiny, simple, and so easy that if you read it and understand it, you could write it again yourself. It's meant to be tooled and modified to suit your needs. Bootstrap is just gigantic, it's a big unwieldily blunt instrument that eventually needs to be removed from the project. The framework in OP bothers me because of the way it ha…
Skeleton is good, but not prefect on mobile. You can try it on your iPhone http://getskeleton.com As I tried, scrolling in a scroll-view (the overflow:auto section) is not smooth, element is ugly, and the even not working (although it might be the website's problem, not the framework's, it proved that they didn't tested on mobile) Skeleton has another major issue, it overrides the default styles of s and s, making it…
I haven't had any of those problems... but if you don't like something it does just delete those lines. I'm not hard line about these things, it's just my favourite one.

#33Now that flexbox is widely supported, I don't really see a huge reason to bother with a framework like this. Bootstrap and other frameworks had a reason to exist several years ago; now I just don't get it. The main draw for me and my team was the consistent row and column layouts. Also, the `container-side` thing is baffling. Why is that part of the framework? It seems like such a narrow focus. What kind of content i…
Thanks for your feedback. Actually Bootstrap v4 provides an opinion to use flex box instead of the traditional grid. http://v4-alpha.getbootstrap.com/getting-started/flexbox/ I would say your suggestion is good. I don't have a convincing reason that `container-side` being a part of the framework. I'll consider to remove it. What kind of content is never visible on mobile? `Scan the QRCode to view on mobile` and `Go t…
Apologies for the tone in my previous comment. I guess it came off pretty harsh. Good work on creating and releasing something to the public. Upon looking again today, I like the overall approach you've taken and it seems very reasonable.
The `container-side` thing just feels very opinionated to me. I'm not sure it belongs in a framework, but that's totally your call.

I would argue that big frameworks like Bootstrap still have a reason to exist because they provide interactive, component based functionality.
It's actually small frameworks like this one that are increasingly useless. Consider that most of the provided functionality can be accomplished with 2-3 css properties.
