Sorry - that was rather terse. I did a bit of digging and found these:

"I will commend the Blueprint author for putting so much work into it
— this tool will certainly allow you to quickly setup a site, but it
comes at the price of completely obliterating the entire point of CSS
for which I could never recommend this tool."

Lots of discussion here:

And more (in the comments):

Anyway, YMMV. It seems that most people think Blueprint's OK anyway.
