Posted to When to use CSS preprocessor over 1 year ago

Ehm, what?
To 1: I don't see how a well-written preprocessor-generated CSS-file uses more internet ressources that a default CSS file. Preprocessors save your time and keep your styles structured. Period. Use them for your neighbors butcher website, for your friends band site and for your pets homepage if you want to. It sounds like you are talking about client-side compiling like LESS can do it. Then you are having a point. But still – just use grunt or something similar – problem solved.

To 2: Replacing Style-Variables by Javascript? It is possible, yes, but it misses the point and puts performance tasks on the client again. Which you stated a terrible thing in the first place.
