Comment on Primer – CSS toolkit and guidelines that power GitHubparent

I got tired of using CSS frameworks where classes are used to define widths. Now, I much prefer frameworks that support semantic style like Susy.

If you use SCSS or LESS, you can inherit the widths into semantic classes. So Bootstrap can be as semantic as you want it to be.

Just be sure to use @include and not @extend, otherwise you'll wind up blowing through your allowed selector ration and wind up wonky css bugs that you will never be able to resolve without re-writing everything.
