Do not drop Sass for CSS

jQuery

The story of jQuery is analagous to this story with Sass. Jquery helped usher in an era of building reliable websites and web applications. It provided a consistent cross-browser API for working with the DOM. It eventually led to part of the API being adopted by ECMAScript. We can thank jQuery for querySelector().

esbuild

Chris favours using the ESBuild bundler to work out the shortcomings. ESBuild can bundle CSS files into a single CSS file. ESBuild can transform your natively nested CSS to "flat" CSS -- this is important since nesting is not in Firefox currently. Therefore, with the aid of ESBuild, Chris has feature parity for his usage of Sass. The other Sass features like mixins and inheritance do not appeal to Chris.
