I've been working heavily with 2.0 for a couple of months now and it is a huge improvement over 1.x. I've converted 90% of a $20 template that I bought over to it and it cut out a ton of bad css (you get what you pay for I guess).

It is still a bit in flux (ie: they just renamed a bunch of css for alerts and tables), but if you don't mind tracking the progress (made easy with your own git branch), it is a great basis to start a website from.

Please note that this is a demo (outdated too) and not really authorized by the project itself. It's unfortunate that some folks feel a need to put something up so quickly.

If you want to look at the current status of 2.0 and help test the release, please look at the 2.0-wip branch: https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap/tree/2.0-wip

The team expects to release something in a few weeks.

Good point. It is a bit confusing since it looks fairly official and all links point to the project. Hadn't seen this discussion previously: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/twitter-bootstrap/ux...

I'd love for someone smarter than me to compare Zurb Foundation and this. It seems like Twitter has a few except things (pill-button callouts, etc), but Foundation seems VERY responsive-focused whereas Twitter Bootstrap seems to have added responsiveness in.

I've used both. I found Zurb to be lacking in components related to Bootstrap. Bootstrap is definitely more featured.

Glad to see there are some variables for setting things like the navbar colors - I just started adapting a site to the 1.4 version and had to start out by changing all of the rules individually so I could implement a different color scheme.

Edit: Actually, I take it back as there are still hardcoded colors and the assumption that you are using white as the text. Would be nice if it was based off a few variables instead.

First thing that pops up to me it's how beautiful and well designed the TB is when compared to Zurb.

In terms of implementation I've only used TB, and it was simple, not very intrusive.
