I think this is a fair comparison. Right now we are not providing components like the ones you get in Zurb and Bootstrap.

EDIT: clarified.

It seems like this is more of a workflow than just a framework. Zurb and bootstrap don't come with build tools as far as I know, whereas this includes a gulpfile and a bunch of other stuff that's very common in my workflow. This feels more yeoman-esque + generator to me.

Edit: Totally posted this before I read 'Web Starter Kit is inspired by Mobile HTML5 Boilerplate and Yeoman's generator-gulp-webapp, having taken input from contributors to both projects during development. Our FAQs attempt to answer commonly asked questions about the project.'

Yeah. that is a very good summary. If you want build process and tooling to help then we have that based on the tools that we think are the best, however we don't force workflow on people if they don't want it.

Noticed Paul Irish is no longer active on H5BP, is he now on team Web Starter Kit or working on the broader Web Fundamentals?

Paul Irish has given us guidance, input and feedback and is on the same team as me, but Addy Osmani is the main driver of starter kit, with me leading Web Fundamentals.

Thanks for the insight. Given his broader influence and role at Google it made sense he was involved in some way.
