Thanks!
> <input> actually has some light validation
I toyed around with the idea of putting this in Min but I figured that with :valid's low browser support and the fact that it's invalid CSS I decided not to put it in Min and rather in a plugin.
> Forms are more consistent
In Chromium on Linux at least there are actually visual bugs with forms - the black dot in the radiobutton is misaligned and the <select> looks messed up in some browser/OS combos.
> Responsive grid (mobile first)
Actually, Min also has a responsive, mobile-first grid.
> Built on top of Normalize, so many of the elements have actually a lot of intensive external testing
Min is tested on several times as many browser combos as Normalize is.
> Default <select> that looks nice
Min 2.0 will likely have a <select> that matches the text field styling.
> in most other frameworks you have to be constantly checking the documentation to see what class names to use.
With Min the class names are extremely simple - .table for tables, .btn for buttons, etc. Fairly standard stuff (same as Bootstrap uses) I think invasiveness is useful for some contexts but I don't think it's the right choice for Min.
> The style in general looks more personalized with Picnic
With Min you have to override substantially fewer styles so I'd say that Min is substantially more personalizable.
Some of Min's cons:
* No Javascript plugins (which I consciously decided against, but many people like them)
* Unprescriptive design - bad if you're lazy, but something I chose to do to avoid the "yet another BS site" phenomenon
* Another commenter made an interesting point about the grid system, I'll have to find it.
I can't edit my comment now but thanks for letting me know the real size.
Anyway, great work for only a week. The invasive perspective is really interesting and I'll have to think about that more.
