Joe,

After I gave Assets from CMS a glowing review on my blog, my team worked to
implement it for a project. While I do not recall the reasons (it was over
a year ago), we all agreed that it was insufficient as a build tool and its
accessibility was not ideal.

We went back to Bootstrap and the accessibility plug-in.

If you want, I can ping the team again and see if they can recall the
issues, but they were mostly not accessibility related.
