The side effect is insignificant (I don't know if regular IE users know how to disable their Javascript) The only thing I don't like about simplegrid is that is not semantic, it cleverly replaces the regular "col-*" with "slot-*". For example, if you have a list of products displayed as 4 column grid you have to programmatically add the class for the grid to work, while that should be achieved with CSS3 selectors. But that would be harder to maintain; it's not like a drop-and-forget type of solution like simplegrid. Definitely you need to add respond.js for IE.

I tried Simple Grid and it seems good indeed. To cite its author: "Responsive. Infinite nesting. One class per element. Simple.". I liked. Though, I'd also like that it could support responsiveness in IE6-7-8. Instead there is a conditional comment preventing this: <!--[if lt IE 9 ]><![endif]--> Removing the comment and loading response.js I obtained to add the missing feature. The question is simple: do you see any side effect doing this? Or perhaps, are there good reasons for not doing so? Thanks the interesting post.
