What Hacker News says
11 sourcesFoundation dropped it at V4. It's 3 years ago (https://github.com/zurb/foundation-sites/releases/tag/v4.0.0). I don't think that's the right time. Interestingly, as my own experience small business websites always asking for IE8 supports. They found their website doesn't work in their office's IE8!!!
Vendors like Zurb (or in-house team for their own company site) usually working on large projects and able to make every decision clearly and fixing any problem they facing. However, for most of developers, they can't afford the cost of it. While there's Boostrap exists, why do you put yourself into risky?
A lot of backend developers using Boostrap. They even don't understand basic CSS.

I've also heard good things about Foundation (https://github.com/zurb/foundation) for getting things mobile/responsive out the box.
For actual html5 mobile apps -- ionic (https://github.com/driftyco/ionic)
In Ask HN: It's Jan 1 and you're building a new Saas app: What framework do you pick?I tried to use foundation on two separate occasions. Each time, basic features were broken (or completely missing!) out of the box, and when I tried to investigate, the code was so tangled and awkward that I either abandoned foundation, or implemented the feature from scratch myself.
Bootstrap is pleasant to work with and extend. Each of the javascript components are simple, isolated, and well thought out.
But don't take my word for it!
The "affix" plugin in bootstrap:
https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/blob/master/js/affix.js
The equivalent in foundation:
https://github.com/zurb/foundation/blob/master/js/foundation...
In Bootstrap 3.3.0 and Bootstrap 4I looked at the project on Github [1] and the latest tagged release is 4.3.2. It seems odd that they'd release 5.0 for download on their website before tagging it on Github; is there a particular reason for that?

In Zurb Foundation 5 ReleasedHave you checked the git repository over at Github https://github.com/zurb/foundation/tree/master
In Foundation 5: Almost Here, and Sweet for Large TeamsThe "Clone now" link on http://foundation.zurb.com/ is a little boring on Windows. (It's currently pointing to github-mac://openRepo/https://github.com/zurb/foundation)
In Zurb Launches Foundation 4That's been my view of the two. I prefer Zurb because I know enough CSS now to extend and leverage the framework more and I find Foundation is lighter weight and more flexible and extensible than Bootstrap is. Bootstrap feel more "opinionated" but the javascript components are really, really well written though those are arguably completely portable.
I've got a pull request open to Foundation right now to add some vertical rhythm to their typography if anyone is interested.

In Zurb Foundation vs. Twitter BootstrapI discovered ZURB's Foundation 1-2 months ago, and I absolutely fell in love with it. My only problem is I started developing a site with it, and before I knew it they had already shipped out a new version - they are apparently at a stage where their release cycle is pretty quick. I ended up deciding to take a day to convert the project over to the latest version of Foundation, 2.1.3 as of this writing.... here is their github repository: https://github.com/zurb/foundation - I love it.
