I've been hearing some talk about CSS grid frameworks and how they help web designers streamline their production. Have any of you guys used these frameworks? Do they actually make life easier?

I think google code has css blueprint or something which makes use of a reset stylesheet and some classes I assume, but no I don't use frameworks, css is something specific to the layout/design of that particular site. Obviously you should re-use techniques, but you shouldn't bloat your stylesheets to cater for every single possibility.

I do use this now though CSS Tools: Reset CSS

Framework is a bit of a buzz word at the moment, something as intuitive as Ruby on Rails deserves to call itself a framework, as it actually saves time, whereas css and asp.net really don't.
