It's usually helpful to include a demo with these things :)

  Agreed. I'm sure it's beautiful, but it looks basically like what I'd expect a GitHub repo to look like. :D

  I also turned away when I couldn't find a demo. Github provides free pages hosting, no reason to not have a demo.

Uhmm, I just looked briefly at HTML5 Boilerplate in the past, and I was wondering what is it providing that Bootstrap is missing ? How come Bootstrap wasn't enough on its own ?

  HTML5 Boilerplate is more of a best practices HTML/CSS template. Bootstrap is a css design framework for creating a nice user interface with little effort. They actually have some of the same stuff like css resets and normalization, but they are used for different things.

  Boilerplate has better markup. Bootstrap is design focused, with the HTML being an afterthought.

html5boilerplate used to be my goto html / css structure for starting a project. I recently build one using bootstrap 2.0... and it was significantly less hassle, but still looks good and works on desktop and mobile

Yeah, I played around a bit with this and it's alright, but I didn't find anything different from the others (twitter bootstrap or foundation, etc), I mean besides combining boilerplate and bootsrap. Unless I'm missing something? because there's no demo or documentation! hehe :) http://dropafile.com/boilerstrap/ http://dropafile.com/boilerstrap/

A great combination. How does it compare with the mashup of Bootstrap + H5BP that can be downloaded at http://www.initializr.com/ http://www.initializr.com/ ?

What are some good alternatives to Bootstrap?

Can anyone explain to me why this has a dependency on node? All the things it's using node to do can be done with Ruby (which it also depends on)? It always bugs me when a project has excessive dependencies without any good reason, and this is worse than an extra lib or two, this requires a second, entirely separate, ecosystem (Node vs. Ruby).
