I like Bootstrap but I found it hard to do customized layouts with Bootstrap. This was an issue when I tried to create custom widgets.
I consider myself to be CSS illiterate; writing Less mixins from scratch was never an option for me.
Then I tried ZURB Foundation . And what I liked about Zurb was its "infrastructure "of SaSS and Compass. I found there is a very vibrant support ecosystem around Sass. There is of-course the Compass, Compass.app , Compass recipes,bourbon-compass, Sassy buttons and more; a lot of useful Sass mixins be found by Google search . I have found Zurb Foundation's SaSS codebase can seamlessly coexist with those other mixins , which allows me to focus on my java /javascript code knowing that the layout will be compatible. I like never having to writ a mixin from scratch; Zurb/sass allows me ti include mixins and merely customize parameters.
Zurb may not ship with as many widgets as Bootstrap but once I learned how to layout and style a panel with Zurb and sass, writing javascript code to add behaviors and methods to the panel is almost easy.
On the downside of Zurb, there does not seem to be any themes marketplace like those for Bootstrap.
