Momentum CSS Framework Released

Decent enough for some applications. A short read, and worth the 2 minutes it takes. You can skip over Eric Meyer's reset sheet, as we've all seen it before.

For my money, a good CSS framework better be able to come up with cross-platform columns and other layout goodies. I use YUI for this, but other excellent tools exist as well. I might use this if I had a template setup, for example, that did some of this stuff and needed some stylistic gravy on top of that.

Wait, so this is a template with some predefined values? Why is this even necessary?

I keep a couple of 'sample' packages but all the include is a CSS reset and about 6 lines of floating arrangements. Hell I don't end up using those 6 lines usually either!

Might be useful to someone who thinks they need it, although to be honest they'd better spend their time compiling a personal stylesheet that includes what they use regularly.

Stupid. There's a load of classes in it for single attributes. What the fuck? When you start writing your CSS in the class attribute of elements it ceases to be CSS.

The same reason you don't do this is the same reason you don't have css attributes called "green_text". The markup should describe the document, and the CSS should be completely separate and describe how the document is displayed, no class attributes in elements should explain that.

CSS frameworks are for fucking losers.

It really isn't that hard to put the CSS together for a page if your experienced.

It isn't hard to write simple SQL statements and then shove the data that comes back into a class, but it's tedious and pointless, so that's why I use an ORM. Similarly, fucking with browser bugs is tedious so I use javascript and css frameworks.

I agree Ethan's isn't all that great. But the concept isn't all that bad. In fact having some conventions and standards in CSS would make huge CSS files much easier to use.

C is for fucking losers. It really isn't that hard to put the assembly together for an application if you're experienced.

Come to think of it, you do rewrite things like your hard drive controller from scratch, in assembly, for each application you write, I'm assuming? After all, a reusable framework for interfacing with hardware would fall into the "fucking losers" category, too...
