While I endorse any minimalistic block based approach, I don't think blockbase is nothing more than a bare bones as well. What bugged me the most in _s also bugs me in Blockbase - it has "too little of everyhing", it's less than minimum. It's better than "too much of everything" (which is the biggest issue with most of the WP themes out there) but it doesn't help. Also, in my personal opinion stey they still lack in SCSS quality-wise. While there's not a lots of code it's still too messy and complicated for my preferences. As a full on CSS guy with the most minimal approach I appreciate functional, fast yet working style sheet. You can see what I mean when you compare the button block in blockbase (here) and in Air-light (here).
