Is the Bootstrap 3 grid better than the one from PureCSS? I'm building a thing where I use PureCSS only for the grid so I'm wondering if I should replace it with Bootstrap.
The Bootstrap 3 grid comes with a lot of what I like to call 'premade classes' - like .col-md-1 or .col-xs-1 . These are used to control the grid alignment at different sizes. Some people like them, some hate them.
I personally dislike them because CSS classes should specify what an element is rather than what it will look like. e.x. if HN were to change from tables to CSS they would use .topbar { background: #ff6600; } instead of .orange { background: #ff6600; } That said, I made a CSS framework [0] that does things differently so I am somewhat biased.
I have no experience with PureCSS but I've found Bootstrap very dependable. If you're designing for multiple screen sizes be sure to take the time to assign multiple column sizes (col-xs, col-sm,...) to columns.
I've heard people rant and rave about Bootstrap being superior. I used it a few versions ago, so I couldn't tell you either way, so you might want to check that out too.
