"Clean, fast CSS preprocessing"

5/5

What do you like best about Less?

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.

What do you dislike about Less?

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.

Recommendations to others considering Less:

If you want to write clean CSS, supporting all the major browser prefixes and shims, then LESS is a great solution Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Less solving and how is that benefiting you?

Creating a unified UI across several different products and using mixins to generate consistent styles across variations like buttons gives us peace of mind that all our products will look and behave consistently while writing less LESS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
