It&apos;s a nightmare to maintain on any sort of complicated, big project. For various reasons... I previously blogged about it here: &lt;a href=&quot;http://fecklessmind.com/2009/01/28/fuck-sass/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://fecklessmind.com/2009/01/28/fuck-sass/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ultimately, yes, you can use whatever the hell you want. But if you&apos;re a front-end developer, if you care about your webiste scaling to millions of users, if you care about providing best experience even to dial-up users or users of old PCs / Macs, then you&apos;re going to spend the time optimizing everything you can. Sass goes against that and creates bloat. Fine for back-end developers who just want the pain of working with CSS to be over, maybe, but not for front-end developers.&lt;p&gt;Haml on the other hand is great.</text></comment>

I think the approach is right on.  I hope it gains enough momentum to be a great &quot;programmer oriented&quot; CSS framework.</text></comment>
