Hi Shamil:
That is a great list of frameworks. It has taken a while to get enough time to review each. The Prepros set of web tools sounds excellent and if they are platform independent and not browser centric it might be a winner though huge mashups scare me...like DNN which have so much convoluted code that any serious issues can take days to resolve...and the performance speeds can be a concern.
There are so many great frameworks out there it is difficult to decide which is best and how these frameworks will co-exist as building a site may require many. Then trying to discover the order in which to start the packages up and searching out the inevitable conflicts can consume an afternoon or come as a surprise sometime later...after being deployed.
I am of a mind that it is hard to tell whether these codekits and frameworks are a curse or a blessing. ;-)
Most recently, I have been playing with the following webkit as it seems fairly simple to get started. It is described as an introduction to HTML5 desktop apps With Node-Webkit and you might also find this kit has potential.

Subject: [dba-Tech] FYI: PrePros - an awesome Web design and development tool...
Hi All
Looking for something like CodeKit (Apple) but for MW Windows I have got at Prepros' web site: http://alphapixels.com/prepros/ .
"Prepros is a web design & developement tool that does all the heavy lifting needed to preprocess, optimize and test your sites and keeps your workflow supercharged."
I've got purchased a Pro license of the subject tool and I've started to use it in my learning of all the "hot" web dev technologies/tools, such as SASS, Haml, CoffeScript, TypeScript,... So far I like it a lot.
AFAIS from setup files PrePros is developed using node.js and Ruby (on Rails) as well as using some other technologies I'm unaware of.
