I agree that the original post lacks in critique.
On the other hand, he does provide a great place to start from when considering CSS frameworks. By laying them all out on the table, we should be able to have a conversation around them to flesh out their relative pros and cons.
In an attempt to start a constructive conversation, I'll outline my brief experience with Blueprint.
Pros for Blueprint:
- 24 columns to layout the page. E.g., you could have one 12-unit column, and 2 six-unit columns.
- Basic text formatting, nice line-height handling.
- Some decorators like borders between columns.
- When you need tables, they look good.
Cons for Blueprint:
- Fixed 24-column layout can be limiting in some situations.
- The occasional floated item breaks layouts.
- Fixed height on headers is problematic for text with line breaks. (can be overridden, I think, with height:auto)
I have less experience with other frameworks.
