Bootstrap vs Roots

I've heard a few people recommend using Roots (http://roots.io), a Bootstrap boilerplate for WordPress, as an alternative to http://getbootstrap.com

Would anyone happen to know the differences between each option along with which one is the better choice?

Roots is a WordPress developemnt stack aimed at, developers, while Bootstrap is a CSS framework that can be used for any web project (doesn't include WP integration by default).

Roots is great but if you're just starting out then I recommend looking into Bones or Underscores.
