Semantic UI vs Toolkit: What are the differences?

Developers describe Semantic UI as "A UI Component library implemented using a set of specifications designed around natural language". Semantic empowers designers and developers by creating a shared vocabulary for UI. On the other hand, Toolkit is detailed as "Extensible front-end HTML, CSS, and JavaScript user interface components for the responsive, mobile, and modern web". Toolkit makes use of the latest and greatest technology. This includes HTML5 for semantics, CSS3 for animations and styles, Sass for CSS pre-processing, Gulp for task and package management, and powerful new browser APIs for the JavaScript layer.

Semantic UI and Toolkit can be categorized as "Front-End Frameworks" tools.

Some of the features offered by Semantic UI are:

Build Responsive Layouts Easier
Self Explanatory
Tag ambivalent

On the other hand, Toolkit provides the following key features:

Mobile First
Responsive Design
Semantic Markup

Semantic UI and Toolkit are both open source tools. It seems that Semantic UI with 45.9K GitHub stars and 4.84K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Toolkit with 1.11K GitHub stars and 121 GitHub forks.
