Not to knock Twitter Bootstrap off the pedestal, but Zurb Foundation is also pretty good. http://foundation.zurb.com/

It looks a lot like Bootstrap because it's based off it I believe but it's also responsive and has stuff to handle different device types which is pretty cool.

BTW, I don't have any connections to Zurb whatsoever

When I looked at Zurb vs Bootstrap, I wanted to use Zurb but the default form styling turned me off. When I am looking for a style guide the first thing I do is find the forms cause that is IMO the most difficult part of styling a web app.

Really? All you have to do is add the class "nice" to the form element and it becomes very pretty.

http://foundation.zurb.com/docs/forms.php ...scroll down to "Nice Forms"

It just doesn't work for me. Compare that to:

http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/#forms

there is a big difference.

To each their own. It's largely a matter of opinion and getting forms right is tricky, but from an accessibility standpoint, I much prefer Zurb's forms... much better contrast and easier to read.

I agree that for forms - bootstrap has it much nicer. It wouldn't be hard to transplant one into the other depending on your needs (responsive vs forms)
