“There are several tools and frameworks out there at the moment which extend CSS to adopt a more programmatic syntax and function. It is my opinion that these are only really of benefit to people who haven’t yet mastered writing CSS properly... If you learn how to write your CSS sensibly... you will see little if any need for things like SAAS [sic] et al.” @csswizardry Harry Roberts January 2010
“The same goes for things like rounded corners. I've a snippet in dreamweaver that I can pull out when I need to that gives me the code for rounded corners... This is a much more efficient way to handle the problem than having to write out the rule, and then declare it's variable and a further value, don't you think?” On mixins... – Russell B.
“Throughout your article, I constantly wondered why any of the things accomplished with Sass could not have been accomplished using CSS. The hallmark of a useful library or tool is that it solves a problem. The issue I still have with Sass after reading this article is that there doesn't seem to be a problem TO solve. You don't have to repeat style rules! You can combine CSS rules with inheritance. ” On solving a real problem... – Chris B.
“[What’s] Painful about CSS? Maybe the biggest pain is standards compliance between browsers, to which Sass is completely unrelated? Sass provides nothing but a complicated hand hold for beginners. More programmatic like? Why couldn’t they stick to a standard set of syntax rules? What is it with using a ‘!’ c’mon” On painful CSS? – Ddd
