They have a tool on their website to generate a theme (Bourbon and PureCSS do not), and Sass functions and mixins for customizing elements. Bourbon and PureCSS's components are just as opinionated (and there are less of them).
>Its CSS style places semantic layout instructions directly in HTML classes.
Sure, but you can just use the Sass mixins instead, allowing you to use the grid system without adding a single class to HTML.
Seems they knew this about Bourbon:
>Bourbon is a Sass mixin library that has extensions for a robust semantic grid (Neat)
The same is true of Bootstrap, so they recommend against it?
It sounds like the author wasn't familiar with Bootstrap.
- ahoy 10y agoI imagine you're right. There's so much hissing and booing and the mention of bootstrap that a lot of otherwise good developers never touch it. Despite the fact that, you know, bootstrap is just fine.
