There has been a bit of discussion of late with respect to CSS frameworks, Jeff Croft floated it on a List Apart. There has been some attention on the recently introduced Blueprint CSS framework. Blueprint presents an easy to use and customisable grid system, with allowances for a full CSS reset and relative font sizes. All good things to have. However can we take this just a little to far. Clearly server side systems as pointed out by Jonathan Christopher can and do take great advantage of frameworks to enhance and speed up the development cycle. But do we really need a framework in the developmental sense, is it the best way to approach Front End development.
