This is an abomination. Do we honestly need a "framework" to use the background-color and float properties? Not to mention that the design here is very poorly executed, and as someone else mentioned the responsiveness doesn't even work.

I'm not trying to be a hater or a downer, I just can't believe that this is the state of web design right now. As Gob would say, "COME ON!"

No, that's why the framework appears to include a lot more than that.

The edges are rough but this is great. I've really warmed to the whole metro look when it's done right and I look forward to where this goes. White text/icons on block color squares works beautifully and looks "cool". This could be bigger than Twitter Bootstrap if done right.

Looks "cool" is not the same as well-designed or usable.

The Metro UI is awesome for touch devices, but mostly just flat out bad and wrong for anything else.

On the contrary, it may include a lot more than that but it appears not to.

I wish Microsoft devs would go the Twitter route and release a Metro equivalent of Twitter Bootstrap. They must certainly be using some internal framework.

Indeed. I asked Scott Guthrie if they had any plans for this, but they don't according to him (as he probably knows). Too bad, because that would be a great move.

That's pretty rude.

This story is on the front page, so there are obviously some folk who would. I quite like it, and if it improves as a result of positive feedback, that'll be great. Your feedback has not been positive.

> I'm not trying to be a hater or a downer

Yes, yes you are. Or perhaps you meant "I am being a hater and a downer but I'm hardly having to put any effort into it".

> I just can't believe that this is the state of web design right now.

I can't believe this is the state of commenting right now. Ah, wait, no, this is just your comment and is not 'the state of commenting'.

As I would say, "COME ON!".

You should really take the time to polish this first. That incorrectly scaled screenshot on the first page was enough for me to dismiss this.
