[split] O-O Forms?

I see these types of things a lot, honestly. Every time that I use them I find that work for the simplest, straight-forward cases, but always become a frustration whenever you need to do anything outside of the initial design. For example, what if need to switch from Bootstrap to Foundation, so my div.form-groups are now un-needed, but there's different wrappers elsewhere. Or, how to have it style correctly between a horizontal and vertical form which, depending on the CSS framework used have different wrapping markup around them.

To me, they are only problematic and requires lot of care and design to take care of enough edge cases to make it useful, while just complicating the code. So me - not a fan.

Then again, I don't see a point in the HTML helpers in general, honestly... I've only ever heard one valid reason (switching CSS frameworks and writing a new class to modify the markup) and that's one that is still a waste of time, unless you've got 1000's of views. So - I might not be the target audience.
