I loaded up the current, release of pier, and it is
very clean and
ready
to be styled.
You can either build on top of blueprint (I know of many Pier pages
that have done exactly this) or remove it an use your own things
(there are quite a couple of pages here as well).
I miss the tree view, has it gone because it doesnt
fit in
the layout?
The tree is still there as a widget. So you can just add it. I removed
it from the default layout, as its usability is very limited and I
think it should be generally avoided. In my opinion the tree is only
good to manage and organize the site, therefor I often add it for
admins only.
Blueprint looks cool for some applications. I have one
site which
has a
fairly fixed layout, so blueprint appears to me to be an ideal
solution
for that, but not, I fear for pier in general.
This appears to me to be a better fit, for general blogish/corporate
sites.

I don't see much difference, except that this CSS framework is a bit
at a different leven. It provides 6 different layouts and seems to me
a bit limited. However there is nothing that prevents you from using
it in Pier: remove blueprintcss, add contentwithstyle, done.
