Also, you should consider: export LESS=-i -g -M -R -x4 -X -f -F -z-1 for a much happier pager.

Err .... is this some attempt at humour or have you guys commenting about less (the more replacement) here not read the article (about less the CSS framework)?!!

@extend is one of the killer features of Sass that other preprocessors don't have: http://sass-lang.com/docs/yardoc/file.SASS_REFERENCE.html#ex... It's true selector inheritance that will change the way you author styles.

Ooh, I can see that being useful. As opposed to features like "you can do loops!" which kinda makes me go "why would I ever want to?".
