I wonder why they have removed sortable tables. Not a hard thing to re-add if you need it, but why the hassle? I used them a lot as a designer as it is one of the most appreciated things for my clients from the desktop-application world who expect it as a given and disappointed when it's not available.

In the Google Group, Mark Otto mentioned that he didn't want to have it as a dependency (it was the only 3rd party plugin) and raised a concern with it having its own themes.

That explains a lot. It also breaks if any of the columns get too narrow. Rather than dropping the effort to further narrow it, it crushes the text of the label upwards so you are left with a set of vertically extended labels where there is ample space.

It has an optional fluid grid:

In any case, fixed width layouts which adapt to screen sizes are also considered a form of responsive design.

I've incorporated Bootstrap 1.4 to use its styling (fonts, buttons, etc) but I'd like to get into the responsive features of 2.0. How exactly does the grid layout work, how should I layout my content? Which columns should I use and how would they adapt to changes in device max width? Thanks in advance!

I'm a big fan of the js widgets- jquery-ui is starting to look a bit old-fashioned and the design on the bootstrap widgets looks very clean. If you end up doing anything very complicated you'll end up fighting the css more than it helps you but I like that I can pick and choose modules.

Love the new stuff - any reason why you removed the animation effects of button presses? I always thought that was one of the coolest pieces of bootstrap

I'm curious about this as well. I was checking out the 2.0-wip earlier today and all of the button animations remained intact.

Yeah, I saw it just a day or two ago as well and it was still there. I wonder if they're removing effects that aren't compatible across all browsers?

Oh! Awesome.

Some other useful css frameworks include http://blueprintcss.org/ and http://compass-style.org/ , if you are interested. That being said, I have used all three for different projects and have enjoyed working with bootstrap the most.

Having using Blueprint extensively, it's great if you're trying to get a basic grid going and not much more. It's super lightweight but doesn't offer the features of Bootstrap.
