[aerogear-dev] CSS Frameworks

[Hylke Bons]

Hi,

I can't judge the implementation or performance. I'll take people's word 
on that, though I don't think it's the most important thing.

The default style will be overridden with our own, no matter what 
framework we'll be using. So style is irrelevant here really. I agree 
that people should stop using the Bootstrap style everywhere, it looks 
lame (but the same can be said for Topcoat once it gets adopted more).

I've downloaded Topcoat and had a look inside. I don't see any 
components, just a few simple element stylings. If that all Topcoat is, 
it probably makes more sense to do all the CSS custom, as it will be 
almost as much work as retheming everything and there's not really a 
point having a CSS framework at all then. We can grab our missing 
components from Bootstrap (or something else), and make some components 
from scratch where the Bootstrap components are suboptimal.

So the style elements being equal, I think Bootstrap would give us a 
head start due to a better selection of components that we need. So I 
want to vouch for that one.

Thanks,

Hylke
