Not all that Metroy, as someone who spent all summer straight immersed in Metro. Also, I wish Foundation would get 1% of the attention Bootstrap does. Once you figure out how to get past their docs-light into the full docs, I've found it to be FAR faster to work with than Bootstrap.

It will get the attention if it is a better product. There is no nefarious reason why Bootstrap is getting more attention than most other HTML/CSS scaffolds.

  Oh i don't know, the 800lbs gorilla that is twitter? Inertia? Laziness? Crowd mentality? I don't know why people think life/business is always a meritocracy. It usually isn't.

    I tried Foundation coming from Bootstrap and found that Bootstrap was much easier to use. Foundation did not have simple documentation and configuration was complicated.

  Oh I didn't mean to imply that there was some evil force pushing Bootstrap. Also, I don't know whether you're being naive or idealistic but "the better product" doesn't always win. Bootstrap has a lot of momentum (not to discount the value of that) but that doesn't mean it's superior to Foundation.

I've used both. However, I used Foundation early on and I heard it's gotten much better. I used Bootstrap for a few projects and found out it can be a huge pain trying to eliminate all the cruft you don't need. Sure, you can build a custom package, but there's a ton of CSS which I will never have a need for. Also, the signature bootstrap dropdown menu on mobile devices really got to me since you see it EVERYWHERE now. My solution was to go with Skeleton and a minimal responsive navigation I built from scratch.

I dunno, write a blog post about why you like it and post that here? A quick search shows only one post about Foundation, with someone linking the project's front page.

Pray tell, where are the full docs?
