As others said, why not bootstrap?

Because bootstrap is totally overused, some differentiation would be nice.

Agree.

I'd argue that Bootstrap the framework isn't overused, however default bootstrap theming is.

Nice but Zurb does this and so much more.

For me, Bootstrap feels like overkill for a simple site. I use skeleton, but will give this a try.

I would love if there was a project like "bootstriped", where I would get all the classes but with minimal styling, with just a visual hint of what they should look like. I could very easily adapt them to my own needs and designs. Does that sounds like a good idea? I might actually do it (or not).

I don't see this solving a problem that doesn't already have a (few) solutions. It is early and I will add this to my radar

There's no argument. You are just correct. Saying Bootstrap is overused is like saying Wordpress is overused which does not matter. The fact is, as you said, the default look and feel of websites using these frameworks is overused, not the technology behind the websites. The backend should be overused.

Exactly. Something as simple as using different typography or changing button style defaults would go a long way.

I understand the idea of using something more minimal for just grid etc, but for me, it hasn't been enough of an issue to not use bootstrap.

Thanks for the mention, wheaties. We're very proud of Foundation (http://foundation.zurb.com), and our team devotes countless hours to ensuring it's the best responsive front-end framework out there.

This is great. These frameworks usually have a .css and a .min.css file.

I would love to see one that has a .verbose.css where all possible attributes or properties are listed and commented out in the brackets for that element. As a reference or resource to grab a chunk from for your own .css file.
