The biggest feature I miss from Sass is the indented syntax (though SugarSS does that better since it has multiline support); for now I make due even if semicolons and brackets add noise. There's still a use case for Sass if you need to build a CSS library and the loops and stuff is useful, but for general, contemporary CSS authoring, wanting to reach for loops and these extra features is a sign of a smell more so than not.

Yes! The indented syntax is why I’ve stuck with Sass, Stylus and SugarSS for all these years for the same reasons you stated.

But… I decided it was worth going back to plain CSS due to CSS Nesting and to simply my tooling.


lightningcss is my new preferred tool for doing all the vilification and prefixing.
