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.)

Suggestion:

JavaScript.

I use Bootstrap, but it looks to me like Foundation5 is a better framework and is making faster progress. Especially I like Foundations use of SASS. Problem is - some widgets I depend on - like date-pickers and X-Editable - only support Bootstrap.

Bootstrap is written in LESS [1], and has a SASS port [2].

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-U…

Angular UI Bootstrap is CSS agnostic - you can use it with Foundation just fine

I'm aware of that, but there are styling differences between Foundation and Bootstrap.

The Angular-UI implementation, while self-contained, is going to have a different .modal() implementation than Foundation's, so there's always going to be relics in the implementation.

Implementing twice the framework for the same functionality seems a sure fire way to induce headaches.

Your advice isn't wrong, and worked great for a good number of months, but requires ignoring the JS components of Foundation altogether, which somewhat negates the benefits of having a big ol' framework in the first place (IMHO).

Verifying email addresses is vitally important for building a high quality list. Otherwise, you can easily sign up other people for the list, they get essentially a spam email, report it as spam, and all of a sudden your list is crap because they didn't have double opt-in.

Keep double opt-in, it's necessary (and I think required in Mailchimp's case unless you use the API directly).

Thanks for this comment. Double opt-in makes a lot more sense now. We’re definitely gonna stick with it.

I find ignoring the JS component to work great for me - I override the UI Bootstrap templates and adapt it to work how I want.

Wow, that was fast ! I love Foundation, but I had to switch to Boostrap because I found it... ugly. And Bootstrap is great to quickly create "pretty" prototypes. But I've always found Foundation having better... foundations. I've used both on numerous projects and here's my take : * The grid system now looks like bootstrap, and I don't like that. You have to choose the type of column you want to use (and I don't want…

> I love Foundation, but I had to switch to Boostrap because I found it... ugly. I consider this is a strength, the styling is thinner so it's easier to customise. Bootstrap can feel like a bit of a battle if you want to customise it a lot. I think bootstrap is perfect for admin pages but for something a bit more custom I think foundation strikes a good balance.

Well the ugly aspect is good, you wouldn't want Foundation to style your website out of the box, I don't think that's the point of these libraries.
