Consider knocking Base down to just the Foundation grid, necessary styles #4

There could be an argument for knocking Base down to just utilize the Foundation grid, more barebones approach instead of including all of Foundation (buttons, etc).

What components should be included? What does everyone find the most helpful? I personally like the grid, buttons, and form styles. Anything else necessary?

I personally like to spend more time writing things from scratch instead of having to re-write/overwrite things. So, in that case I like it as bare bones as possible. With that said, I have been learning a lot so I'll be happy to learn whatever components are necessary to be included.

I'm not sure this is necessary. The idea of using the SASS version of Foundation is that you can pare it down to only the components you need. That needs to be the first step of your process when you start a new project. With that in place, you'll only be overwriting styles when absolutely necessary. If it makes sense, we can change the repo's copy of app.scss to include only the grid by default, with the option to add other components as you see fit.

I will always vote for less default stuff and more writing from scratch.

As do I, but I do believe that Foundation has some useful components that can be used as a... wait for it... foundation. :)
