I love Foundation, but I had to switch to Boostrap because I found it... ugly. And Bootstrap is great to quickly create "pretty" prototypes. But I've always found Foundation having better... foundations. I've used both on numerous projects and here's my take :
* The grid system now looks like bootstrap, and I don't like that. You have to choose the type of column you want to use (and I don't want to be bothered by that). so no .six anymore, it's .medium-6 or .large-6 or .small-6... They should call the .small-6 just .six so we know its the default one.
* It does look a bit better, although they removed styling of the radiobox in forms? Why?
* Overall I still prefer bootstrap's theme, I wish Foundation would offer an optional theme like bootstrap 3 does.
* OffCanvas menu is great ! I can already see plenty of applications (but for mobile only)
* The CLI is a nice thing to have but I'm gonna stay away from it. I like the easiness of copypasting files to quickly begin a small project.
* Documentation is hard to go through, doesn't allow to glance at what it offers. It's a huge improvement from F4 or F3 though.
* I use sublime text snippets all the time and this might be a huge addition!
* I like the JS that verifies forms. I usually always use this on my projects so it's nice to have it by default.
Overall I don't really know if I should switch back to Foundation. But I'll definitely use it for my next project to see how good it is.

I consider this is a strength, the styling is thinner so it's easier to customise. Bootstrap can feel like a bit of a battle if you want to customise it a lot. I think bootstrap is perfect for admin pages but for something a bit more custom I think foundation strikes a good balance.
yup, if I want to start a big project from scratch I'll tend towards Foundation.
But if I need to prototype something quickly, make a beautiful admin etc... I'll use Bootstrap. And I'm so used to use bootstrap that I use it for big projects as well now.
Yeah, I use Foundation for sites because I know that I'm going to completely customize the CSS.
I use Bootstrap for web apps because I rarely need to write any CSS to get a working beta that looks nice. After I've gotten input back from the initial users I'll go back and customize the look.
Interesting that I prefer Foundation (if I had to choose one or the other) over Bootstrap for exactly that reason: it's uglier.
Whenever I see a new app thingy launch with Bootstrap buttons I cringe a little bit. At least Foundation forces you to make some decisions about how you're presenting things to your users rather than just leaving it how it is (although we've all seen default Foundation apps too).
