Indeed there will be at least one more RC.

Hey mdo, big thanks for all your work! I've used Bootstrap in one project and will use it in many more. It's a huge productivity boon and the documentation does a great job of showing you what to do.

Awesome to hear, yo! <3

Cue a dozen comments about flat buttons. This looks like a nice set of changes for Bootstrap. I'm not sure how I feel about the grid class name changes, but then again, I went all-in on Foundation a few months back, so it doesn't affect me one way or another. I'm sure mdo and fat have excellent reasons for using Less instead of Sass, but I'm a Rails user and I like Sass better to boot. Anyway, no matter, I'm glad to…

I prefer LESS over SASS, simply because of how often I use mixins and how nice ".border-radius(5px)" is compared to "@include border-radius(5px)". That being said, my current setup is Stylus+Nib. (And for the above examples, you'd just write "border-radius: 5px" and it takes care of everything. Much more flexible.)

Actually, in SASS, border-radius is done with the syntax `+border-radius(5px)`. You're thinking of SCSS, which is much more verbose but has more similar syntax to CSS.

I've inherited a web application that's held together with invalid HTML and riddled with inline CSS. Got the green light to redo it all. Replacing all the markup has been on hold pending BS3 (the mobile-first aspect of BS3 seems a big win over BS2), but while waiting I've seen a lot of people talking about Zurb Foundation and its "superior" grid system. From a purely HTML5+CSS3 point of view, what do you think of BS…

Clearly, I can't speak to BS3, but the thing I like most about Foundation is the mobile-first grid: build your grid layout using Foundation's 'small- n ' classes and it just works on larger screens too. If you want to develop more complex layouts for larger screens, all you have to do is append 'large- n ' class names (and now 'medium- n ' exists, too).

bs3 is mobile first also

so0o0 do we have a gem yet

I haven't had a chance to try it yet but I found this: https://github.com/diowa/twitter-bootstrap-rails/tree/bootst...

It's a fork of the twitter-bootstrap-rails gem.

Edit:

There is also this: https://github.com/jlong/sass-twitter-bootstrap/tree/3.0.0-w...

Why do people think Zurb's grid system is better? I don't remember it being any different from Bootstrap's grid system.

Zurbs' grid uses percentage widths for columns and is mobile-first - BS 3 now uses a similar system which makes the only really difference SASS/SCSS vs LESS if you just want the grid

Ah, good point. Yes, I use SCSS (although SASS is a closer comparison to Stylus).
