I love Pure. If you are looking for a lightweight less-intrusive alternative to Bootstrap you should try it, or even to replace part of it.

  Can you expound re: "less intrusive?" My impression of Pure the first time was that it was a bit verbose to do what Bootstrap can do with a col-sm-3 for example. I do like the fraction-based grid though and perhaps verbosity is the price I have to accept to have that.

    With the new Get Started page [1], you can change the class names for the grid columns. Here's an example. [2] [1] http://purecss.io/start/ http://purecss.io/start/ [2] http://purecss.io/start/?cols=12&prefix=.col-&sm=35.5em&md=48em&lg=64em&xl=80em http://purecss.io/start/?cols=12&prefix=.col-&sm=35.5em&md=4...

      Edit: I see you can introduce a full overwrite of the classname. Beyond that I'd say that Bootstrap includes a lot of what some might call "fluff," but take the CSS alone and I'm struggling to see the "less intrusive" part.

        Markup aside, the projects take different approaches: Bootstrap is polished, opinionated defaults that can be overridden, and Pure is a minimal base to extend.
