  Hi all,
  
  I need to make a administrative GUI with lots of functionality like lists, forms, navigation, etc.

  I have looked at twitter Bootstrap and this looks really good, but it is missing some features that I must incorporate. I could integrate Jquery for [url=https://goo.gl/GpK4R1]Bootstrap and this helps but all the (minified) resource files together in my solution are over 250KB.

  I looked at some commercial products like Wijmo which I am also considering, but I am woried that I get stuck somewhere down the line. ExtJS is also a suggested option that I am looking at.

  Can anyone give some alternative CSS3 + Javascript (jquery) + HTML5 framework for administrative GUIs? Only new browsers need to be supported, not ie6 - ie8.
