I feel really dumb when I've spent the last three days trying to understand how Sass works and how to actually make it run.

Most editors and IDEs have integration, that makes life easier

@620hun They do indeed. I do finally understand the idea of writing a .sass or .scss and having something convert it to a .css.
I also understand that *something* can be number of things like sass-loader with Webpack or sass --watch (I'm trying to figure out the webpack method)

Right now I'm trying to figure out why the compiler can't locate my styles.scss which contains a bunch of imports from the styles folder.

I hate Sass. I miss the { }. That's why I prefer Scss.
