#2This looks really nice! If I hadn't already got a designer for my current project (from http://analoghq.com/ mentioned here last week, no less!) I would definitely be using this.
EDIT: That's not to say this is a replacement for highly-skilled designers, more that it's an easy way to get a passable interface in the absence of any design skill :)

#3This looks like a great start, but there are some missing parts and serious issues with the typography. In many places the text size is just too small, while the typeface they're using here is too light for display. The link text under Michael Peterson is a good example of the problem: http://topcoat.io/topcoat/doc/mobile.html#m-well

#6I've already picked this up for a side project of mine. So far, it's been a pleasure working with the UI toolkit. I'm seriously looking forward for 1.0 release of the Desktop flavor.

#7why this instead of bootstrap?
I for one am really happy when someone decides to develop an alternative to a popular product.

You might want something with a more discrete look, such as Topcoat's.
Options are fantastic. Who loses? It's a win-win.

#9I'm finding it hard to think up ways that this differentiates itself enough from Foundation or Bootstrap to be useful -- and your website isn't providing me any reason why as well.
Compare to http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/ and http://foundation.zurb.com/, which list some benefits right on the page -- you need people to instantly understand why they should use your framework over another css framework.
Also, make sure your demo pages represent responsiveness well -- I resized my browser on your mobile demo page and the tab bar ended up becoming nothingness -- perhaps some min-widths are needed?
