Introduction The Vanilla CSS team maintains every byte of code in the framework and works hard each day to make sure it is small and intuitive. Who's using Vanilla CSS? Glad you asked! Here are a few:
In fact, Vanilla CSS is already used on more websites than LESS, SASS, Stylus, and BEM - combined. In addition Vanilla CSS is fully ready for mobile responsiveness (see @media queries)
Semantic UI - Bootstrap - Foundation - UIKit - 960 Grid System - Skeleton - Kube - Yaml - YUI CSS - Boilerplate - Helium
However, it's generally accepted that Vanilla-CSS can outperform any of the above frameworks. It also has a much smaller footprint. Just take a look at the file size comparisons.
