i love the 960 framework. im more of a programmer than a designer so it saves me alot of css headaches and lets me get my stuff done faster :)

I can see the use of it, but all that html with classes like “grid_1 prefix_1 suffix_10″ followed by empty div classes just for clearing makes me want to cry myself to sleep. But then again, I like playing around with the CSS and doing the bits of problem-solving and whatnot with it. And having done document architecture stuff with xml makes me want to keep everything semantically meaningful–and these frameworks force meaningless classes on everything.

But I completely understand the use of them, and the time it saves people who don’t stay up at night thinking about CSS (or don’t want to), so I applaud what all the people are doing (making everyone else have less headaches), I just stay away from it myself. It is one way to solve the problem of not having a good grid system with xhtml 1 and CSS 2.1. I just hope for speedy passing of html 5 and css 3 (not going to happen, but I can dream :) )

960 is great for what it is. I had to give it a try and was happy with the results, but I still prefer writing my own CSS.

I’ve been a fan since day one. I started out only using the 12-column grid, but now I’m working on flexing my muscles using the 16-column grid for a new project. I love the amount of work and thought that has gone in to this.
