Have any of you moved from Bootstrap to Foundation?

I have used both of the latest versions extensively.
It depends on your needs.
Bootstrap
- easier to understand grid
- built in icons
- pre-made design elements
- lots of documentation, support, and plugins
- harder to customize
Foundation
- easier to customize
- better built-in mobile-friendly UX enhancements (images auto scale, slide-out menu options)
- clean and fast
- less documentation
- harder to pickup
- everything is in EM so the grid and sizing is trickier
- their desktop grid is 1024+, not =1024 so you are actually using a medium grid for ipad as the default. It can be changed in sass, but that was pretty annoying
- no icons and few pre-made elements
Foundation for rapid proto-typing and designing something from scratch that is unique
Bootstrap for rapid product-to-market if you don't want to do much designing and ok using their elements.
