Is Foundation a "Standard" now?

As much as Bootstrap, I imagine. Not sure if moreso or lessso though. Perhaps different use cases? It looks like developers prefer Bootstrap, not entirely sure why - perhaps something as simple as the documentation is structured better for them - or that was the initial crowd who was exposed to it.

Bootstrap has a lot more "extras (javascript stuff)" that make it easier to make an entire product using it.

That's pretty much it.

I would just like to say that I love Foundation! Kudos to the team and congrats on the new release. I look forward to exploring the new version. That being said, I am not really digging the new documentation page. The sample code containers should have a non-white background or at least some kind of a border.

This framework is so much further along than Bootstrap is, and the team at Zurb seems to iterate much faster then the Bootstrap team.

I believe Foundation is much better for front-end design than Bootstrap. The main benefit of Bootstrap is in backend design because it managed to get more popular and consequently its much easier to find 'bootstrap ready' js based widgets etc

Hmm, they should, have a light grey background. Maybe too light?

On the one hand it's never been a better time to be a front end dev, and on the other it's absolutely crazy how fast front end technology is progressing the last couple years. I just caught on to Foundation 4 in the last 4 months or so, and now here's a new release that's way more evolved. Amazing.

Thanks to the Zurb team! I'll definitely be ripping off lots of ideas for my company's tortoise-speed Drupal sites.

Can anyone tell me how to make a split button / dropdown that goes upwards (dropup)? This is one thing bootstrap has which I've been missing in foundation.

There's a lot more web application stuff built into bootstrap for forms and multistate buttons and what not.
