Bootstrap is fantastic when you want a site that looks like Bootstrap, these tend to be put together by developers. Foundation (at least was) much less opinionated and therefore when you're given a PSD by a designer much easier to implement.
Have things improved on that front? Is it easy to override Bootstrap's defaults?
Has anyone tried some of the newer css frameworks? Lots of them are listed on cssdb [1]. I especially like skeleton [2]. [1] http://cssdb.co/ [2] http://getskeleton.com/
Skeleton seems unmaintained. https://github.com/dhg/Skeleton
1. Skeleton framework (https://github.com/skeleton-framework/skeleton-framework) and
2.Skeleton Plus (https://github.com/oltmannsdaniel/skeleton-plus)
I like skeleton plus because of the responsive menu. The colours are not so good :P
Bootstrap 4 seems to be the clear winner, according to the article. If you want to start designing with it already (which is not a great idea; it is still alpha), here's a Bootstrap 4 PSD template you can use: http://hackerthemes.com/blog/bootstrap-4-psd-template
It is a good reason to leave the room / team / project when "design a website" means "open photoshop".
I've been a big fan of bootstrap, but I find that these CSS frameworks are becoming more and more irrelevant in the age of widespread flexbox support. CSS modules do put the last nail in the coffin.
Wow an alpha version is recommended for production. What world are we living in?! :D I tested BS4 but the alpha tag makes me too nervous to use it in production. Things will break and some things are still not there yet (talking about navigation in bs4).

But Bootstrap has a nice "out-of-the-box" experience. I know much about usability engineering and user experience, but not so much about graphic design. And bootstrap fills this hole for me. Getting something out fast that doesn't look like 1999

What about a CSS framework based on flexbox? http://bulma.io

Foundation 6.1 was worse than Bootstrap 4 Alpha. They are still cleaning up and completely changing things with 6.2 totally breaking your setup. Boostrap alpha is more stable than Foundation "stable".

Also flexbox support in IE is still terrible, so for those of us building sites for the open-web it's a non-starter for things where a 'just doesn't work' fallback is unacceptable, such as the main site structure and alignment of core elements.
Currently I only find flexbox useful for things like vertical centering, where it's not the end of the world if the element doesn't center in IE.
Do any modern CSS frameworks not rely on jQuery? I'm rather surprised that so many still do.
