What are the best CSS preprocessors/postprocessors?

Pros

Pro
Fast to read and write CSS

Works like Emmet, shorting CSS keywords, but it's not limited only to writing. Also modifying and reading COD(CSS-On-Diet) files is faster.

Pro
Easy to learn and use

Doesn't require programming skill to work with variables, mixins, media breakpoints

Cons

Con
It's difficult adjusting to different keywords

The keywords are shortened to 3 letters. For example, "background-color" becomes "bac" and "max-width" becomes "maw". These keywords are far less intuitive than their original form and make the CSS much less readable for those who don't know CSS-On-Diet.

Con
Extremely limited adoption

CSS-On-Diet has just 7 stars on Github and a very small adoption rate. For an open source project this usually means less bugs reported, lesser documentation and few third-party learning resources.
