Create super-responsive modern sites easily

I like the ease of creating a responsive and semantic website. I especially like how it allows me to control the amount of nesting of HTML elements, without the need for any extra markup. I dislike that Less compiles to CSS, not to JS. It is a little confusing at first, but I think once you get used to it, it is very powerful and easy to use. It's very powerful, and I haven't found anything I dislike. It's good for creating responsive websites. The code size reduction, faster rendering time…

Pros
  • Highly functional code formatting engine
  • Easy compilation of code without extra HTML/JS/CSS
  • Clean syntax support
  • Easy to maintain code with powerful functions
  • CSS compilation to CSS
  • Works with other programming languages
  • Fast compilation via CLI
  • Ease to use, and powerful
  • Lots of options for tools
Cons
  • Javascript compilation to JavaScript
  • Compile to CSS

A modern alternative way between sass and scss

It's very easy to use, it has many great options that are not available in other similar tools like SASS or SCSS (at least for my knowledge). The price of less seems quite expensive compared with others but I think this tool can be useful because you get so much more functionality than what most people expect from just writing code using standard css would do! Using LESS makes your work easier when making custom stylesheets without having any issues about overwriting variables etc., which…

Pros
  • Easy syntax
  • Many features such us looping through arrays
  • CSS3 support is good too..i hope they add even better stuff soon :)
Cons
  • Somewhat slow
  • Not free version atm.
  • No auto complete

Amazing for organizing CSS/LESS files!

I like that it's very simple to use, but still powerful enough for complex setups as well! The only thing i dislike about LESS would be if you need more than one file with different variables in each of them; then they become hard/impossible (or maybe even impossible)to manage from any other place or software besides less itself - so just keep your code organized into logical groups instead using multiple files which are easy to mess up when needed again later down line ;) If there was some way

Pros
  • Easy usage.
  • Good compatibility across browsers / platforms etc.(even mobile devices!)
Cons
  • Empty
