#2Very impressive and well-documented. I wonder if this could be the Bootstrap of the WP world (although much more lightweight and not actually a framework). Did I mention the well-documented CSS.

#3For those interested in this they might also check out underscores theme by Automattic[1].
Bones is an okay starter but if feels like a more thrown together bundling of the latest and greatest of the web development trends (320andup, sass/less, html5boilerplate) than a functional starter theme. But at least it follows the wordpress coding guidelines unlike roots[2].
Question for those who understand open source licenses can this theme even be licensed under the WTFPL considering that it uses wordpress provided functions like (get_header and wp_enqueue_styles)?

#4We used the Bones template as our starting point for http://www.noshon.it. It served as a great barebones theme to customize off of. As previously mentioned, the documentation throughout all of the files is awesome - very helpful for first time Wordpress work.
We actually replaced the 320grid and other styles with Bootstrap because of familiarity with the framework.

http://320press.com/wpbs/features/ - the bootstrap of the WP world is based on Bones + Bootstrap.
Or you have the Roots theme if you are willing to break some wordpress conventions for cleaner code as an end product.
