OP here. The issue is integrating Bootstrap with Rails, relative to Zurb providing a supported gem for Rails. And breakage for SimpleForm going from Bootstrap 2.3 to 3.0. I'd be happy to choose Bootstrap on the basis of its popularity but I need a front-end framework I can recommend in my "Learn Ruby on Rails" book that isn't going to have integration issues with new versions.
- phillmv 13y agoI would just not use SimpleForm, especially if you're pushing it on newbs. It does for views what Inherited Resources does for controllers, i.e. replace a really simple system with horrendous workarounds should you want to do anything other than the default.
- subsection1h 13y agoHorrendous workarounds? You don't need to use SimpleForm for every form in an app. Also, you aren't restricted to using SimpleForm helpers when using simple_form_for. You can use input_field, label, etc. anytime you want to.
