Bootstrap is attached to a big-name company.

They're not though. The author worked for Twitter when he released the first version of Bootstrap, but Twitter never actually used it in production. Twitter doesn't promote it anymore either; BS3 got moved to twbs/bootstrap on GitHub, and the new marketing site doesn't call it Twitter Bootstrap anymore.

ZURB doesn't have a huge consumer product, but they're a pretty big name in design, and they have half a dozen people who regularly work on Foundation/Foundation support.

I agree that I should have written it past-tense... But, until recently, it was clear that Twitter's name was attached to the project. A Google search for "Twitter Bootstrap" pulls up all the relevant docs, and the first line of the 2.3.2 docs is "Built at Twitter by @mdo and @fat"
