I've always wondered why they initially chose camelCase and not dashes. I like keeping camelCase for JS only. CSS uses dashes (border-top). LESS uses dashes in its example documentation.

> Dropped all things fluid. We removed the fluid grid system, fluid container, and fluid layout. Damn. That is very handy when you want to have even sub columns inside of an odd-sized parent column.

I was worried when I saw this, but the very next bullet point is: >Overhauled default grid system. Now uses percentage widths, padding, and box-sizing: border-box instead of pixel widths and margins. Nesting and offsets remain the same. Which sounds like they are actually making everything fluid, and removing fixed widths. Perhaps a good thing, although border-box means no IE7 support.

I thought border-box was pretty much how IE handled sizing anyways up until IE8.

_this_. And why drop support for FF 3.6 too? Is there a technical reason to drop support for older browsers or is it idealism?

When was the last time anybody used FF 3.6? Serious question.

It's the highest version of Firefox available for PowerPC Macs (pre-Intel).

I really like how frequently words like 'dropped' 'removed' and 'consolidated' are used. Was a little worried about bloat with the creators now having more time to devote to it. Great to see that wont be a problem!

I struggled with making this decision, but ultimately it's all about readability for me. Hope it's not too much of a hassle for folks, but that's why this happens in a major update and not minor ones :).

Yup, loving that we're getting rid of stuff out of the core. Definitely a major focal point of mine to date.

The also redid their scaffolding model (grid system) to use percent widths instead of pixel widths, so it seems like the default (and only option) will be for things to behave like the old fluid layouts did.

However I am not looking forward to removing all the row-fluid/container-fluids in my templates.

You should be able to use find-and-replace to tackle most of this—the classes aren't changing too much.
