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?

I think jQuery and Bootstrap are "developer ready". IE , easy to use. The easiest lib/project to use will always be the most successfull one. Doesnt mean there is no place for competition, and it doesnt mean it will always be the framework everybody use. Furthermore this is "Twitter" bootstrap. Most people have no idea what Zurb is.

My only problem with Zurb is that ridiculous mascot that represents it. What is that sky-blue creature? Hipster yeti?

Agreed, this is silly but it's like Ember's hamster,it's a hit or miss. While the design is great, you might or might not dig the mascot.

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.)

While I hate camelCase, i have to agree, javascript core lib uses camelCase and PascalCase , so should 3rd party libraries.

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…

I've started shying away from Angular a little because it's not very simple to work with existing JQuery and JavaScript components with having to re-wrap everything in directives (and supporting it when the underlining components change) has become a huge-PIA....

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. http://www.webdesign.tutsplus.com/tutorials/htmlcss-tutorial... http://www.lynda.com…

Man, the quality of the videos on Lynda.com always impresses me. But I don't wanna pay $25 when that's the only series I want. Wish I could just do a la carte.

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 started to notice that and have since moved over to it now. The feature updates and add-ons are coming much faster with Foundation than Bootstrap IMO.

One thing to note is that while both frameworks are open source, Foundation is backed by a company (Zurb).

I'm more curious about this which is mentioned on the page: https://github.com/hcatlin/libsass/ has anyone got it working with rails? Faster SASS compilation would make life much better (especially when bootstrap or compass are involved).

Just took a closer look at this. Yes they are using libsass. They are using it with grunt and grunt-sass (https://github.com/sindresorhus/grunt-sass), which uses node-sass (https://github.com/andrew/node-sass).

There are other implementations available: https://github.com/hcatlin/libsass/wiki/Implementations
