    I have been using Thesis for some time and am now test driving Genesis.

    I've designed a current project on both frameworks and I'm pretty happy with my ability to match what I've done in Thesis 2.1 by using Genesis 2 and mightyminnow's Mobile First version of the Genesis Sample.

    Where Thesis seems to perform better than Genesis is when rendered on iPad and iPhone... the only 2 test devices available to me at present.

    Both frameworks need some tweaking for portable devices. That is a bit of a learning curve for me. I guess I'm just trying to decide where to invest that learning... Thesis or Genesis.

    Since the support forums will be a big part of that learning curve going forward, I'd be interested in getting some feedback from Genesis users.

    The Thesis version is at http://pasadenabarber.com

    and the Genesis version is at http://test.melchiorre.com

    Thanks in advance...

    I don't think this slider is responsive Listic Slider on either framework.

    if you take a look at the Genesis Responsive slider, you can see it resizes correctly. http://demo.studiopress.com/executive/

    Listic 1.2 is supposed to be responsive with the caveat "check this if you want to enable the responsive layout for Listic (you should be using Responsive/Fluid WordPress theme for this feature to work!)"

    I'll take a look at the Genesis Responsive Slider. Thanks for the tip.

    No worries Mark.

    Soliloquy and Easing slider are 2 other plugins which are both responsive as well.
