I like the idea of creating a better presentation for the scaffold, but not by using a 3rd party framework or library.
However, one could make some minor changes to the scaffold code so if a developer were to add bootstrap, foundation, or whatever framework to their project, the generated scaffold code would automatically have it's styles enhanced by the added framework.
