Anyone have experience with good frameworks? An overview, perhaps?

  As a non-designer I've used both blueprint and the 960.gs grid system. They both work fine and I've never ran into the problems he describes with either one. My somewhat limited understand of the two is the blueprint addresses issues with typography and sets a typographical rhythm, so it has some advantage there. However, I think it's pretty easy to trash that rhythm if you don't know what you're doing.

  If you're using node.js ; stylus seems really good. I'll be using it as soon as I have the time to clean up my CSS. [LearnBoost's Stylus: Expressive, dynamic, robust CSS] : http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2162620 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2162620

  The Eric Meyer reset is great for a base sheet... clears all those little default values you probably forgot about http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/ http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/ I swear by 960.gs or any of the fluid interpretations (http://www.designinfluences.com/fluid960gs/ http://www.designinfluences.com/fluid960gs/) for most of my projects. It is such a simple concept to understand, adding classes .container_12 or .container_16 (now in 24 columns) to wrap your content and then .child_X classes to each div or block level item you need. Saves a huge amount of time, and is something that lends its-self to more organized styles if you don't spend all of your time designing. When the objective is to ship something quickly, frameworks are absolutely the route to take.
