Materialize vs Found & BS

I need to get back to using SD now. Materialize was not a framework when I last really used SD, but I liked the components on its demonstration page when it was still in beta.

How does it compare, in terms of usability within SD to the other frameworks. I was more of a Foundation user because it required one to be more minimalist when using its three built in breakpoints. I would want to use grids and only a form or two.

Hi,

I don't use grids, but otherwise I find Materialize is as good as Foundation and Bootstrap. I have added some Materialize building blocks to my sharing folder, they have '(MA)' to the name to denote which framework they have been created in. I'm by no means an expert, among other things I haven't yet found my way to how to create 'a zillion' different nav menus ;).
Ha en riktig god dag!

A previous update added the ability to add CSS grid or Framework grid elements without having to make each individual container.
Materialize css in my personal preference; is simpler and better than the other frameworks available in RSD.

Having completely control of how elements move inside a 'row' class I think Materialize does the best job.

eg. (push-m3)(pull-m3)(offset-m3) (m3)(l3)(xl3)

It takes some tinkering to get things exactly how you want them, but it's at the same time a lot of fun getting that right layout.

Cheers, and good luck
