I've used both. I found Zurb to be lacking in components related to Bootstrap. Bootstrap is definitely more featured.

I'm sure we know by now that more features doesn't better. Depends on the use case

I think the clue is in the names: Zurb Foundation would be a good place to start building your site on top of; Twitter Bootstrap is perfect for quickly getting things done.

Personally, I used TB because I needed something that looked ok but without expending much effort

I still prefer http://getskeleton.com as a boilerplate over Twitter Bootstrap. Bootstrap tries to do too much. Skeleton does just enough to be useful and then gets out of the way.

I'd love for someone smarter than me to compare Zurb Foundation and this. It seems like Twitter has a few except things (pill-button callouts, etc), but Foundation seems VERY responsive-focused whereas Twitter Bootstrap seems to have added responsiveness in.

I have tried both Twitter 1.x and Zurb with Ruby on Rails and I found Zurb to be easier to use and have a better structure internal structure, easier to customize, etc

Don't be embarrassed :) Have you done a view source on Hacker News? It works.

Foundation does just the same for getting things done ...

It is also used on Google Search. There is nothing more alive than the center-tag.
