I need advice on selecting one of the above frameworks for HTML5 UI development (I am quite new to this end of the world). One of the main requirement is to keep the UI development as simple as possible by reusing/modifying the existing UI controls.

We need it to be lightweight and stable in the production environment (which speaks with Spring MVC). A quick summary of PRO's and Con's from the experienced hands would be really helpful.

P.S. Influenced by few good reviews on HTML Kickstart(lightweight nature), I had a quick look and it seems to be good bet with handful number of UI controls (roots from Font Awesome). I am little apprehensive about its stability / flexibility in productions environment.

Thanks In Advance
