Well I found this framework quite interesting, I don't want Bootstrap's visuals and baggage so I found this very appealing, the grid system is robust and appears to solve my problem which Bootstrap doesn't easily. As for the visuals, well I'm of the opinion that they don't need to look good to be good. Visuals designers usually aren't good at making generic frameworks, it is more of a programmer's undertaking to distill HTML & CSS into it's reusable parts, so for a framework to look good out of the box it needs both skill sets from it's developers.
I need to actually reposition my grid elements when breakpoints happen, not just resize or reflow them. The reordering seems promising (so I can alter the flow by appending css classes instead of needing to mess with html structure).
