Well, PHP was certainly a frustrating choice.
I couldn't find on the website how exactly they use PHP. Does a website need to be coded in PHP to use Foundation?

No, it doesn't, which is probably why nothing on the site even mentions PHP. Nonetheless, when you download Foundation it's presented PHP files that do just enough in the way of conditional server-side includes to scare away people that don't know PHP and don't want to have to unravel it out to try out a new CSS framework. That's why it's frustrating.

#23Less Framework does this as well: http://lessframework.com/

Some of us still use (and like) PHP, thank you very much. Nothing wrong with targeting a niche.
If it actually required PHP, or was somehow particularly useful to PHP users, or was even just identified on the website as a "PHP/CSS framework", that'd make sense. This isn't targeting a niche, it's firing a rifle blindfolded and hitting your neighbor's niche.

#25Earlier quoted context omitted.
I haven't seen the code but the examples for Checkbox/Radio Buttons are not accessible. If I click on the label, they do nothing.Ideally, they should toggle the checkbox/select the radio button.
Works for me; both styles. Clicking on the label selects the checkbox/radio.
Maybe it was my browser then. Sorry for the false alarm.

#26I like the fact that they've got boilerplate styles but their "grid" is still using floats, big strike out there.
The http://stacklayout.com/ is heaps better - using display:inline-block; for nestable grids means no more annoying column classes etc. It's a much nicer way to work

#27Prefer Bootstrap out of the gate, but still looks very nice

#28The page itself seems to resize pretty gracefully with one exception. Between a width of about 800-950 for me on Firefox there is a fairly sizable amount of empty space (about 750px) before the page content starts.
