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.

Faster iteration isn't necessarily better actually especially if people don't care forward compatibility. Maybe it's just different culture. For example bootstrap 3 is a breaking upgrade and suddenly your just finished bootstrap 2 is using 'unsupported' framework.

I launched an app the week before BS 3.0 launched and had to spend several days upgrading.

Also, no changes to the class and attribute semantics (that I've found yet)! The only migration that should have to happen at this point is JS fixes.

There is a migration guide detailing all of the changes in JS:

http://foundation.zurb.com/docs/upgrading.html

as well as a migration plugin that will allow you to use the f4 style js and get deprecation warnings via the console:

What do people recommend for functionality similar to Interchange on a Bootstrap 3 site?

I don't know why (maybe I'm just not good with css and html in general), but I'm always confused when looking at these grid systems. Trying to use zurb in a project now and I'm kinda lost. Any good resources other than their docs for sort of showing how to use zurb in a full project?

Webdesigntuts+ has a thorough series covering Foundation 4 you might be interested in. If your a Lynda subscriber, they’ve got a couple of courses on Foundation 4, as well. There’s not a whole lot of difference between the grid in Foundation 4 and Foundation 5. Foundation 5 does add a new medium breakpoint which is great for tablets.

I've been looking through this, trying to remember why I recently switched to Bootstrap. Was it a widget that was missing? Maybe a date-picker? Foundation doesn't really have date-pickers and such.

Hrm. Oh, right. It was angular-ui, which uses Bootstrap.

Angular integration for any of these projects is a BIG win. Because of that, I'm eagerly awaiting an RC for Angular-Semantic[1], so that I can cut over to Semantic-UI, which is, I think, best of breed as far as these frontend aesthetics go.

The linked web page crashes Safari on iOS 7. Mobile first, eh?

We tested pretty extensively, it looks okay...what device?

First, a big thanks to all the Zurb folks who work on Foundation, I can't wait to dig into the new release!

Just for the sake of another data point (albeit an obscure one): The page crashed Chrome on my iPhone 4 running iOS 7.03, both with other pages open and as the only page.

Here’s a datepicker for Foundation.

Looks like it dropped support for IE8, which unfortunately eliminates this as an option for a lot of client work. Seems like a solid go-to for more forward-thinking projects though.

Year to date 27% of our IE users are on 8 or less, which oddly enough accounts for 27% of our revenue from visitors using IE. IE 8 or less is 10% of our site revenue. I simply cannot exclude 10% of our revenue.

With that being said, traffic from IE 8 or less is down 58% from last year. Windows XP isn't going to die fast enough for me to begin supporting Foundation 4+.

I could push Firefox or Chrome aggressively, but that's an unfriendly half-measure.
