kevbost25648y@fkvx Not at all, but kind of.
SCSS allows you to nest selectors and define variables and a ton of other beautiful stuff.
Example:
$ayyyyylmao = 5px;
.cool-class {
margin: $ayyyyylmao;
.neat-class {
font-size: $ayyyyylmao;
.another {
width: $ayyyyylmao;
}
}

kevbost25648y@fkvx the spacing is off, but you get it. I'll never be happy in vanilla css, but am in heaven with SASS. LESS is fine too, I just don't use it.

Haven't tried coffeescript , try netninja tutorial on sass on YouTube, won't take more than an hour to learn and quite easy to pickup @fkvx

kevbost25648y@heyheni There's also SASS syntax which is without the sugar, personally I feel like a little structure helps with readability.

I'm lazy, therefore fuck those sem;colons and c{}rly braces!

Cube18929318y@heyheni You can use Sass without semicolons and parenthesis. What's above is SCSS, a pure-CSS-like variant of Sass.

pyrotazz3088yWe use LESS - I only knew limited CSS when I started, so I don't think I'll ever be able to write vanilla CSS!! I tried once, it took me AGES.

darthy20098yok maybe the right place ro ask them: how da f*ck does one learn css/sass? i did tutorials, played a lot with it and yet at the end of the day when im trying to style one of my pronects it looks like a shity mess.. y god y.. #helpelsekillme

tahnik389968yI don't know why but I've always written vanilla CSS and never felt the need of SCSS. CSS itself is very good if properly installed. Also when a new feature comes in I wouldn't want to wait for SCSS to support it first before I can use it.
-
620hun83788y@tahnik I'm fairly certain you could put random attributes and values in SCSS and it would still compile.

crisz82398yThe only reason why I love them is that you don't need to learn. You need 5 minutes to familiarize and you can rock
