Building / maintaining medium sized websites.
I use #sass to concatenate multiple files, one or two of mixins, and a couple of for loops and maps for generating some utility classes. I have largely switched to CSS vars / custom properties. Considering switching to #lightningCSS. Upsides: does minification and transpiling as well. Downsides: will have to write some code in a more manual fashion. What do you folks use ?

@jeromecoupe I use Lightning CSS across all the websites I actively maintain.

I'm a fan. Feels like working without build tooling since it's so fast, but does all the key things I want from CSS tooling in a single, convenient dependency.

FWIW I never went deep on SASS-specific functionality, so I never felt like I was missing anything when I started using Lightning.

@aaadaaam Yeah it looks to me like there is not many downsides if not using Scss capabilities extensively (loops, maps, mixins, etc). Amongst the reasons why I am considering the switch is wanting to stay as close as possible to (modern) Vanilla CSS. Thanks for taking the time to reply. Been following your work for a while. Let’s just say it adds credence to your take on this ;o)

@jeromecoupe that's been my goal for CSS too. As close to Vanilla as possible.
