> I'm not saying that I disagree with your assertion that CSS is a bad place to layer logic from a maintainability standpoint; I'm more pointing out that blaming it on SCSS makes no sense in this context

I don't see where I blamed anything on SCSS just found it amusing the page purports to axe dependencies (JavaScript) but uses SCSS. The rest of my post is far more on topic and interesting. Everyone is focusing on my SCSS poke though, heh.

I certainly agree that the rest of the post makes sense and is more on topic! It's why I felt the need to add the statement at the end of my own stating that I agree with it, immediately after I posted it ;)

Re: requirement - there I was referring to your opening:

> So let's show off what you can do without JavaScript...but also include SCSS as a dependency when the opening paragraph complains about a JavaScript dependency? Madness...

And explaining that although they used SCSS, it certainly isn't a requirement, nor even much simpler than the plain CSS.

I'd guess that most of the responses probably focussed on it because leading statements are often read louder than what follows them. They set the mood/tone in a way.
