> I love Foundation, but I had to switch to Boostrap because I found it... ugly.

I consider this is a strength, the styling is thinner so it's easier to customise. Bootstrap can feel like a bit of a battle if you want to customise it a lot. I think bootstrap is perfect for admin pages but for something a bit more custom I think foundation strikes a good balance.



yup, if I want to start a big project from scratch I'll tend towards Foundation.

But if I need to prototype something quickly, make a beautiful admin etc... I'll use Bootstrap. And I'm so used to use bootstrap that I use it for big projects as well now.

Also Bootstrap 3 is a lot easier to customize.


Yeah, I use Foundation for sites because I know that I'm going to completely customize the CSS.

I use Bootstrap for web apps because I rarely need to write any CSS to get a working beta that looks nice. After I've gotten input back from the initial users I'll go back and customize the look.


Well the ugly aspect is good, you wouldn't want Foundation to style your website out of the box, I don't think that's the point of these libraries.
