As one of the designers behind Neat, I like what Zurb have been doing with Found...

One of the things I like about Foundation is their nested column syntax. I don't have to worry about how many columns I have to work with.

In Neat I have to write something like: @include span-columns(4 of 8); If I'm in a div with @include span-columns(8);

In Foundation I always just allocate 12 (default) columns no matter where I am. Shown here: https://gist.github.com/3009035

This makes the css much more reusable.

Neat looks like a nice, lighter weight alternative to Foundation, but I can't switch for this reason.

Fair enough. Until we come up with a better way to detect nested columns, I don't think explicit nested rows is the route we want to take. Our primary goal is to use as few mixins as possible to achieve proper nesting.
