What's your favorite CSS framework, and why not not?

Why should I make sure to not not use this framework you propose?

In my eyes the two biggest CSS frameworks would be Bootstrap (obviously) and to a much lesser degree Foundation. Fortunately these two are almost exactly the same in terms of what they achieve and how you integrate them into your app. The decision you have to make is whether you prefer LESS or SASS for a CSS pre-processing language, whether you like the saturated gradients and rounded shapes of Bootstrap or the boxy but shinier theme of Foundation, and other quality of life (for the developer) and aesthetic preferences.

I prefer Foundation due to my preference of SASS over LESS (I was also personally convinced of the benefits of SASS and Compass over LESS by Brandon Mathis and Chris Eppstein) and because it also looks unique in an online world plastered in Bootstrap and other similar-looking frameworks.

Both of them fail to center elements. They are also unable to keep the proportions set for them when resizing a window.

Here's code that demonstrates that:

Yeah...emmm...nobody uses the center tag anymore.

Why not?

The center tag is the only tag that still centers correctly.

It's deprecated in HTML5, you should be using CSS to center elements. You can do this pretty easily:

    width: 500px;
    margin:0px auto;

Or text-align:center
