SCSS and BEM are methodologies, whereas CSS is just a specification with various implementations and is methodology-agnostic.

- noema 6y agoSCSS isn't a methodology, it's a tool for reducing repetition and capturing syntactic complexity in CSS.
- vehemenz 6y agoYou're right, I was thinking of SMACSS. SCSS (or SASS, more generally) does benefit some methodologies more than others though; I've never found much use for it while using Tachyons or Tailwind, for example.
- tomaszs 6y agoWhatever we call these it does not change the fact that both methodologies cripple CSS in many ways, and shadow things covered already by CSS and other means. I think both are responsible for how CSS is received and it is sad, because CSS is not responsible for these horrible methodology mistakes.
