For me, forms look microsoftish (maybe can be easily customized though) and BEM is hungarian notation of CSS.

What is "microsoftish"?

I suppose the forms are vaguely reminiscent of Microsoft's rectangular, solid-colored forms

That was my reading of it too. They do resemble the flat aesthetic of Microsoft's Metro.

I think it will need to follow Foundation style and offer mixin rather than hardcoding the classes. A library taking like .btn andothers etc is not something you'd want. Or maybe it's just me that don't like putting tons of classes in the HTML.

This is something that interests me as well. I would like a bare-bones configurable SCSS library to use in my projects.

Which is funny because that look has only been used by MS for the past 2-3 years. But yes, it's their current look. :)

can someone explain the convention of importing a directory into a file of the same name (and same level) before main.scss. The structure is:

    src/sass/
        components/
        support/
        vars/
        _components.scss
        _support.scss
        main.scss

and within main:

    @import "components";

Just curious why this is? I usually just import them directly into main, but I could understand if they were nested into the directory so they could be broken out. This structure doesn't make sense to me though as they are all flat & in same directory.

Here is a penny so you can by some more ram. You can keep the change.

The grids are way nicer in cute. You just have to specify a grid container and the flex takes care of the rest.

Yes, but just one row at a time (it doesn't wrap). And with flexbox it's just 2 lines of CSS code anyway (unprefixed).

Pure doesn't have any SASS/LESS support, from what I can see.

In my opinion this is still the best option for CSS, especially in combination with React.

Most importantly it contains a ratio-based scale: http://tachyons.io/docs/layout/spacing/
