Is there a list of changes anywhere?

Yeah, you would think they would at least provide a changelog. I'm curious if there are changes incompatible with v3.

They linked to a migration guide in the linked article. Here it is in case you missed it:

Broken link at http://foundation.zurb.com/prototyping.php UI Docs links to http://foundation.zurb.com/docs/elements.php which returns a 404.

OMDog.

Docs page doesn't seem to be loading properly for me... It's as if the CSS file isn't loading. I've tried it in 3 browsers.

What's the advantage of using Foundation over Bootstrap?

Zurb was built with the responsiveness from the beginning. That doesn't seem to have been the case with Bootstrap. I've found having a responsive site out of the box, without some of the headaches I've had trying to do the same with Bootstrap, is worth the costs of a smaller community. Plus, it doesn't look like every other Bootstrap site and is more easily customized.

You're not the only one.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Do you have any specifics on why you consider Bootstrap more opinionated? I've used both on a few different sites and haven't really noticed this.

The whole javascript-hipster-semicolon debacle would be high on my list

That doesn't really affect the developer using it though. GP's argument that Foundation is more flexible and Bootstrap is more opinionated seems unrelated to the semicolon debate.

The "Clone now" link on http://foundation.zurb.com/ is a little boring on Windows. (It's currently pointing to github-mac://openRepo/https://github.com/zurb/foundation)

I don't understand the whole mobile first thing? Isn't Foundation already responsive? Don't most websites built with Foundation's grid system automatically fit nicely on mobile devices? Am I missing something?

I agree. Foundation's responsiveness has always been better IMO.
