I do know about compass, but I have a feeling compass will be to less what Prototype is to jQuery, at least for me. When I first learned Prototype I thought it was awesome, but jQuery just ended up making a whole lot more sense to me. Different strokes for different folks I suppose.
- carbon8 17y agoWhat you are describing would be closer to Sass vs Less, not Compass vs Less. Compass is a meta-framework built on Sass to make working with CSS frameworks much simpler, easier, cleaner and more flexible. In your case, you don't use CSS frameworks at all, but you just want a few features that aren't in CSS, so Compass isn't what you'd be considering, Less or Sass would be.

- 9oliYQjP 17y agoIf I don't want to use a framework like blueprint, and I actually prefer (in this context) the CSS syntax (e.g., braces et al) as opposed to HAML, then is compass still useful to me? That's what is (now) confusing to me given your replies to my original comment. My original criticism isn't of compass. It's just that if I don't like blueprint/YUI/960, then would it not be redundant to use compass? Hopefully you don't take this personally. If I ever find myself required to use one of the above frameworks, they would probably be a lot more palatable when used in conjunction with compass.
