One thing to keep in mind is that Skeleton has not seen a single commit in the past year, so it's not clear if the framework is going to be supported long-term. It's probably better as a blueprint for one's own homebrew minimalistic CSS framework.

It doesn't need to change until flexbox is well supported. I've just used skeleton in a project without any problems.

https://github.com/dmur/Skeleton appears to be a more active fork.

So a framework needs to update every 6 months just because that would make you feel better about it?

Also, your statement is factually incorrect. There was a single commit in the past year. If you had said that next month, you might have been correct.

The author is on twitter...

1) Nitpick about 11 months vs 12 months. Are you adding any value to the conversation? 2) The author being on Twitter doesn't affect the 31 outstanding pull requests and the 52 issues filed against the GitHub repository. Again, I'm not clear what you're getting at.

Doesn't need to be updates for the sake of updates. There are open pull requests and issues.
