I think that Less has actually won the popularity race thanks to Bootstrap, a nicer website/docs, and front end devs not wanting to learn how to install Ruby. I think it's unfortunate because Sass is technically superior, imo.

(Could be skewed by the audience participating in the poll, of course.)
- Benferhat 14y agoCorrect, LESS is all I use right now because of Bootstrap. I don't get it though, LESS is open source. If it's so inferior, why aren't there more pull requests to make it better?
- grabastic 14y agoI'd imagine it's because people who aren't satisfied with Less are using/contributing to Sass instead... and vice versa. ;) There are also big differences in design philosophy. I love the if/else, while, and for options that Sass provides, but Less has chosen to forgo that for (imo) a clunkier syntax. Things like that are unlikely to change.
