Hasi Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Do you have a preferred CSS Pre-Processor? I've personally been using LESS for the last few years and just (very) recently started using SASS. It felt really complicated at first, but the more I've been using it lately, I'm starting to really love it- actually I'd say it's less complicated! No extra add-ons or files and so much more support and features. Wondering why it took me so long. What about yourselves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have used LESS and SASS both in the past, and always found SASS to be much more flexible and more comfortable for myself personally. I hardly start new projects with plain CSS anymore. Any other @Programmer or @Game Owner making use of LESS or SASS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlmanatt Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Bootstrap swapped to SASS for v4. I'm using that on all my stuff (it's still beta, mind), so SASS is the path of least resistance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Design1online Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 They're pretty comparable. Switching from one to the other isn't really hard either. Personally, I don't have a preference and I'm just as comfortable using regular CSS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBrick Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I like less much but i am comfortable with regular css and css3 also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hasi Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 I found LESS to require more set up, but true that it's very similar to SASS. SASS also seems to give you more controls that LESS doesn't offer- and as a bonus the SASS community is way larger than LESS. It'll likely be even larger with bootstrap moving over to SASS as well. I never use plain CSS anymore- using a preprocessor saves you a ton of time with variables, nesting, organization, not to mention all the tools and functions to save time. Plus you can have your CSS minified automatically on save- sweeeeeet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anoua Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I sometimes use sass at work. I haven't really used less to compare them though. I like sass for variables especially, but nesting and reuse is nice. The extra setup required is a negative though for me, but is still worth it for many projects I dont have a problem using regular css either, though I do prefer using a framework such as foundation.
