Is SASS important?

Hey there,

Congratulations on your web development progress! Learning SASS can be really valuable. It simplifies styling with features like variables and nested rules. It’s used widely and can make your code more efficient and organized. Try freeCodeCamp, Codecademy, or YouTube for learning resources.

Now we also have native CSS nesting, which can make the CSS more efficient, but oh boy is it going to make for a lot of forum trouble in the future when beginners start to get tangled in it. :grimacing:

Native nesting is another one of those things beginners really shouldn’t use at first, but wait until they understand the “longhand” form of CSS.

With the amount of amazing features recently introduced to CSS I see less and less a need for preprocessors. I have been stoked by my last round of research and learning on the topic. It really felt like I’ve been living under a rock for some time and I was really happy to see some of the features like container queries.
I have a bit of tooling fatigue and enough experience to do alone with CSS HTML and vanilla JS, so for my latest application, a family business one, I am just going vanilla also with the goal of learning about some of the amazing features that are currently available like web components.

Tools will always push the boundaries of standards, but standards will eventually pick up on the good things and those tools will become pretty much obsolete. And this way we go round and round…
