CSS preprocessors sucks.
CSS frameworks sucks.
Simple truth.

    You don't need any. Simple truth. People who have so much CSS that they THINK they would need them should throw the whole bloated trash away and start over properly.

    @Fast-Nop I never used any of that crap. I just do not get it, why people use it. Most of the time i'm faster and better than any of coder who using frameworks or preprocessors. Sad thing is clients calling ME to fix their shit. And damn, it is a pain in the ass.

    @Lexter The reason for usage? Incompetent wannabe frontend devs who can't be bothered to learn the basics. They just want to vomit out something badly copy/pasted that looks superficially like a website, and then scam unsuspecting customers into paying for that junk.

    The shocking aspect is that this level of incompetence and indifference is even the NORM in that industry.

    @Fast-Nop i don't need it but i just _like_ working with SASS tbh.

    @Fast-Nop Why learn something properly when you can just bullshit your way through? In addition, someone with real skills will probably be more expensive, so many will just choose a random guy using all the frameworks he can, thus creating the shit we all know.

    On a side note, I'm glad people here barely speak English. That limits a bit the abuse from other countries.

    If css would have nested selectors like sass, i wouldnt use sass tbh

    Like

    @highlight
    .sth1{
    color: black;
    .sth2{
    color: white;
    }
    }

    @tekashi That can lead to an interesting example of Spolsky's "law of leaky abstractions". The intuitive way to do multiple nesting could be to reflect the elements' nesting order in SASS - and that leads to over-qualified CSS selector chains which become a headache when you need to override them.

    Of course, you don't have to nest it that way, but the reason is not clear from the abstracted layer.

    Actually, you have to make it somewhat ugly on the abstracted layer to get the most out of it. Such a pattern usually makes me wonder whether the abstraction is a good one in the first place.

    Just saying sucks without a valid reason and an alternative makes just sound like a crybaby.
    Such a lame "rant".

    @WorstVarNames Alternative? Vanilla CSS. Shocking, huh?

    @WorstVarNames Actualy many people wrote articles on this theme. I have no ambition to repeat them. CSS frameworks and preprocessors just sucks. I don't need to explain.

    @Lexter the same way there are plenty of articles why you should use them.
    Its like saying, uh yellow sucks. Why? There are plenty of articles about it. What a great way of sharing an opinion.

    @WorstVarNames Yeh, plenty articles about how yellow color sucks does not prove yellow sucks, they share my opinion why yellow sucks.
