Less Reviews & Product Details

I love the flexibility of LESS. Mixins and Variables make writing CSS painless and so much more scalable for the large-scale applications we create. We're able to use one folder of LESS files, with variables for brand colors, font weights, and things like light and dark mode, and shared amongst several different products, making it super easy to update our products from one place. Nesting CSS rules makes writing CSS so much cleaner, too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It'd be great to have browser support for native LESS files, but we use files watchers as part of our development process anyway, so compiling minified CSS is an automatic process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Less has incorporated the coding base to css. We have list of operators, support for cross-browser compatibility and of course, it makes coding faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tight coupling requires more effort to reuse or test dependent modules.

You have to invest some time to get familiar with using Less. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nested styles are by far the biggest game-changer for my styling use cases. The ability to easily nest multiple objects into one parent identifier has made my code infinitely more readable. The execution is quite intuitive, and now reading vanilla CSS makes me cringe! Mixins have also come in handy for making shortcuts in my code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I honestly can't say I have encountered any significant downsides to using Less. I think their website and documentation's presentation could be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to learn as JavaScript based stylesheet preprocessor. As most of the web designers/developers community has JavaScript it is very easy learn and understand the syntax. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
