Do what do you all think about bootstrap by twitter? Any better recommendations? I am reading from all sources and cannot figure out whether to start using it for my projects or not.

It’s good. And responsive too now - so probably has everything you’re likely to need and more in a framework.
In fact the biggest issue is cutting down the default CSS file so you don’t include 100 s of lines of unused CSS.

Bootstrap is great!! I’m using it on all my EE projects although I’d recommend using the build script to only download the bits you need

I use this a lot as well

Cant believe I’ve missed that build script before. What an idiot! That’s a great feature.
Initializr looks interesting too. I’ll have a closer look this week. Do you use it in addition to bootstrap or instead of?

Initializr is basically bootstrap packaged with a build script (along with html5boilerplate), I used this originally because bootstrap didnt have a build script but now that it does I just use bootstrap with the bits I need..the good thing about initializr is that it comes packaged with modernizr which is a script which basically checks the browser to see which css3 and html5 components are available and creates a body class to allow you target (with css) elements you need to be styled differently (if that particular browser dosent support certain properties)

Zurb’s Foundation is also worth a look:

I just started using Zurb in my current project.
I love its ‘gridibility’. Finally, i am able to nest grids easily.
Orbit & Revel are so easy to work with.
CONS: divitis, eek!
I came across a few forks that had implemented LESS. But they had a few odd bugs.
