Specifying the width proportion with fractions looks pretty nice. But the paragraph explaining how jeet's better than bootstrap/foundation/etc. because it lets you use sass mixins (instead of inline classes) to separate content from presentation seems a little misleading - it's not like you can't do the same with foundation (jeet: @include column(1/3); foundation: @include grid-column(4);). (I don't use bootstrap, but presumably it has equivalent LESS mixins).

(True, it's not the most popular way to use foundation, but that's cos a lot of people don't care about semantic layout and/or don't want to use a preprocessor).

The difference between Jeet and Foundation's grid are two things.

1. Jeet uses actual columns whereas with Foundation you need to nest elements within elements: http://imgur.com/a/OWyOQ

2. @include grid-column(4) isn't as "on-the-fly flexible" as Jeet since you have to define the base number of columns in Foundation whereas in Jeet you could just say @include column(4/12) or column (1/3) or column(33.333333/100), etc. - being able to say in natural language what you want your container to do is pretty powerful stuff.
