If you are a developer, Bootstrap is great. If you are a designer then Foundation might be a better option.

Bootstrap give you everything you need to get a site up and running quickly whereas Foundation as it's name indicates provides you an environment for customisation.

I've used both but for for me Foundation is my favourite as it's more vanilla.

I used both. I like foundation more.

Don't be afraid to look into the unminified css script to see how it works. Reverse engineering is what makes you an engineer. hehe!
