If 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.
