PX vs em for layout

I haven't come accross any examples on using em for layouts vs px take a look at this framework

http://goldilocksapproach.com/

The argument is that twitter bootstrap uses px design not em for layout what is a better approach and is there any better examples of this.

So the question is what? should you just do what twitter does? Should you do everything with px?  

The answer to both is obviously no.

Look at the brief explanation of when each unit type is appropriate here.

Handicapping yourself by limiting what unit type you will use is like putting square wheels on an automobile.  The are options and a range of possibilities, because pro developers want be able to product their own design instead of just copying or using a template that someone else wrote.
