What's a "designer framework" anyway? I would just call this a template...

A template typically has a set page layout, this allows you to create your own layout.

Looks interesting, but no support for IE6 and IE7 can be a deal-breaker for many users, especially when there's 960gs (http://960.gs) which supports those browsers.

as someone who deals with the front end for a company whose business is a web app, no support for ie6 (with patch files, conditionals, whatever) really is a deal breaker. the sad fact is 15% of our customers still use ie6.

draw your own conclusions, but those customers generate significantly higher revenues per customer than those who use modern/semi-recent browsers.

960s is great.

I like the idea of a real baseline grid, but...

"Safari 3, Google Chrome, Firefox 3, Opera 9 and Internet Explorer 8 all work correctly with some minor differences."

Seems like cross-browser compatibility (including Firefox 2, IE7, and heck if you're making a framework, IE6) would be at the top of the list of your priorities when creating something like this, though ;-).

yet another css framework... What I want is a UI framework for web apps (forms, menus, modal windows, etc.) such as the ones for iPhone development

Maybe qooxdoo is what you are looking for? It looks a little bit desktopy for me, but I haven't taken a close look at it.

There is also extjs (http://extjs.com/)

extjs, qooxdoo and cappuccino on the Javascript side, GWT and Vaadin for Java, Pyjamas for Python. Especially Java seems to have lots of "component-oriented frameworks".

YUI includes a similar-looking baseline framework.

Anyone care to compare the two?

It looks great. Needs some more work to correct some of the shortcomings mentioned below and will fly.
