css, sass and scss rocks. all those ideas should have their place in css3 or later.

Check out stylus, it's pretty neat too: http://learnboost.github.com/stylus/docs/js.html

My favorite features:

- auto-insert vendor prefixes, even IE filters (no need for css3 'mixins', which are most of the mixins the avg dev will need)

- can even rasterize linear-gradient backgrounds and serve as image for more pre-css3 browser support. This one I haven't tested but it sounds awesome

Edit: paragraph formatting

Yeah I actually prefer stylus to sass personally, sass is just more popular (and rails default) and less magical for people that don't work with css as often.

My favorite feature actually is that it can grab properties out of parents, as demonstrated here: https://gist.github.com/2563746
