Although it's sad, what's really sad is that buttons don't render consistently across browsers. I try to avoid buttons for that reason :(

Trapped in 1999? Buttons render ok since IE7/8.

No they don't. On different browsers the padding is completely different, and on many browsers you can't even control it. And don't tell me "you don't need to control the padding of buttons."

No they don't. Apples buttons are round, ms buttons aren't.

That's before you use appearance: none and normalize any styles, the subject is customizing with CSS.

Thanks for the info! It's helpful ... but looks like IE and Opera still don't respect this.

Don't be an idiot. Semantic UI has a meaning. The authors chose to ignore its meaning while trading on the cachet of the name. While their web dev skills may be unsurpassed, it's a reasonable criteria on which to judge them.

Ad hominem attack, really? A single post or two on the name I could understand, but every comment? HN fixates on the absurd.

Him calling you an idiot isn't an ad hominem. It's only an ad hominem if he's arguing "You're an idiot, and therefore you are wrong ". "You're being an idiot, and here's why: " is just impoliteness.

Hey, I'm jack the guy behind semantic UI. Semantic isn't ready for release yet. A lot of the copy on the site is only currently in draft form. and there are plenty of inconsistencies with the code base itself. Hell, there isn't even a download link. I've been privately been working on the framework trying to get it to a place where i'm happy enough to open it up for outside feedback and it's not quite there yet. The…

Regardless of how "semantic" it is, I think Semantic UI looks really promising, and I'm tempted to use it right away. I like the way classes are used.

Don't mind these silly geese bickering about the semantics, what really matters is the productivity increase a tool brings its users. Semantic UI looks to be very strong in that regard. There's a veritable shitload of good stuff in there.
