bass.css/postcss or stylus because css3 is already valid stylus syntax (we all have copy&paste developers in our team). and it has its own nice&cute syntax and very awesome features.

Well I really think Stylus is way faster and kind of similar to python. It allows you to do old school CSS or new free style and also has a lot of cool features. For me what I want and need is to do fast css and stylus allows it. The bad thing about it is that a few people use it and there's not that many stuff made with it.

I see a lot of people have voted for Sass - Now may I ask for the reason(s) why SASS ?

I started with Less as it was "less" painful to get it up running, and configuring tasks with Gulp/Grunt was easy and fun. Sass wasn't, at the time.

But as time followed on, I noticed that all the projects I followed switched to sass at some point, so I decided to give it a shot. Being on Windows mainly, I thought it was a pain to install Sass at first (either Ruby + Compass, or Grunt/Gulp with buggy plugins, or Gulp/Grunt + Compass...) and spent lots of hours trying to make the whole stuff work. Eventually I got myself PhpStorm and after a few minutes configuration, Sass was up and running :)

So basically now it's Sass, mainly for it's popularity, but also for its wider possibilities.

Less, it's simpler to use.

I've only worked with LESS and mostly for variables (definitions of colors and fonts) and mixins (prefixes, returning styles etc.), but nothing more than that really.

In my current job: no preprocessors, so building it all by hand. Luckily Sublime Text with Emmet handles prefixes very well ;)

Is SCSS and Sass the same? :)

Sass has two syntaxes. The new main syntax i.e. Sass 3 is known as SCSS (Sassy CSS) and is a superset of CSS3 syntax. This means that every valid CSS3 stylesheet is valid SCSS as well. SCSS files use the extension .scss.

The second and older syntax is known as the indented syntax i.e Sass. This is inspired by Haml’s terseness and is intended for people who prefer conciseness over similarity to CSS.
