@freemo i think css has really improved over time.. it now more often does what i want ;)
@bonifartius sass only really helps when you are dealing with multiple CSS files and you need to reuse or overlay a lot, which is pretty common. But yea its overkill if you dont need it. I'm not using it on my current site because its just not needed yet.
@bonifartius my reasoning for the avoidance is that with sass etc. i have another layer i need to do accounting for in my head :)
