seems kind of odd to integrate their own CLI instead of just writing a yo generator - and where is the documentation for it?

As with prior versions of Foundation, Yeoman will get plenty of generators for it. At least ZURB's CLI guarantees an easy way to get the canonical version, which is not always apparent among the various Yeoman generators. Also ZURB seems more Ruby-oriented than JS-oriented, as most of their installation methods are based on the Ruby ecosystem.

Docs are here: http://foundation.zurb.com/docs/.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

It's just that I'm the guy that liked dojo when the world liked jquery. Should I just go with the majority and choose bootstrap?

Foundation's enough of a standard that you don't have to worry about that. It'll be around indefinitely and won't get abandoned like some hobbyist project or superseded by Bootstrap.

So for the HTML deficient are there any template sites for foundation yet? These exist for bootstrap, and for someone who doesn't have even a single bone of design talent in his body they're a godsend.

My aim is to reduce downloads to mobile users but allow tabs and laptop/desktop users with bandwidth to get the full show.

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

Why not just use Interchange itself?

I'm puzzled about the switch from camelCase to snake_case for JS as shown in http://foundation.zurb.com/docs/upgrading.html#javascript-va... . The clear convention in JavaScript is camelCase, why switch away from it? (I say this as someone who in normal life using Python and Rust uses and prefers snake_case but who uses camelCase when writing JavaScript.)

Well, it's sure as hell not window.set_timeout, window.clear_interval, window.on_load, etc.

I'm curious as to why Zepto support was removed. Zurb was pretty big on it for Foundation 3. Smaller size than jQuery, faster load time on mobile, etc. Any ideas why this was scratched?

There were some definite compatibility issues we ran into and while jQuery 2 isn't perfect, it's pretty good, good enough we felt confident switching back from Zepto. Nothing against Zepto, just pragmatism.
