Why I Stopped Using SASS ☆

I’m a huge fan of HAML, for me it just makes writing HTML markup ten times faster and it looks a shed load nicer too. With a new project I’m working on at the moment, I thought I’d give SASS (HAML for HTML, SASS for CSS). I’ve been using it for the past few weeks. Today I decided to change the SASS files in my Rails project back to plain old CSS. The reason for this?

1. I like being able to put all the rules for one selector up on one line, it makes more sense to my brain.
2. No colour coding in Textmate – It’s all white and I can’t see my arse from my elbow.
3. I don’t really use the features that SASS offers, other than indenting code to form groups of rules, but I was already doing this with CSS anyway

It would be nice to still have the variables that SASS offers, I only used them for colours, but still nice. It’s just not worth the visual tradeoff though. Sorry SASS!
