#3Do we really need this?
I find all the examples harder to read and understand than combining classes/elements.

#4Wasn't this already asked by Chrome developers? Or each browser is implementing nesting in their own way?
Re: Help choose the syntax for CSS Nesting
#5> Everyone wishes CSS nesting could use the same kind of simple syntax that Sass does. That’s impossible, however, because of the way browser parsing engines work.
I wish browser vendors could work around this limitation and stick to Sass syntax. IMHO all of those options seems strange and make it difficult to read.

If you open the article you will find this as the 4th paragraph:
> So, a lengthy discussion began about what to do instead. Earlier this summer, the CSSWG debated between Option 1, Option 2 and Option 3. Of those, Option 3 won. Since then, two more options have been proposed, Option 4 and Option 5. If you remember various details discussed across 53+ issues, put all of those older ideas aside. At this point, we are only debating between Option 3, 4 and 5, as described in this article through the set of examples below.

#7Option 3 seems the most intuitive, but I can see the arguments for 5. It's 4 that I'm having a hard time understanding why anyone would want it that way. It's truly awful. I can't think of literally any other language (style, markup, programming, or otherwise) that does nesting with a second set of adjacent (not nested!) curly braces.

#8All these options are pretty terrible yeah. I'd prefer if there was work done towards selectors for parent items, siblings of parents, and children of parent siblings. Not that the work is mutually exclusive.
