I'll get straight to the point

Who uses them and what do you recommend?

Have lately been looking at less and bootstrap and have used bootstrap in a few personal projects.

I was looking at bootstrap some time back. It just looked a lil overkill for me.

Why would you say it's overkill?

For me, a framework will speed up development tons - can get the designers to work to a set grid, use the same classes for every site etc....

Maybe I wasn't entirely sure how to use it. But from the way I saw it, producing my own layout just seemed faster.

Well I'm thinking for sue at work too. As I can give web designers a base psd with column overlays, that corresponds to the less framework.

So wehn I get a design to code into HTML5 all the widths are the same as a the framework. I could also code a proper base template for all projects, finally

Gues sit depends how you use it
