Pro
Easy to install and use
It's written in node, so you can install it with npm. All available plugins are installed by default and include some development tools like a watcher and a browser live-reload so it don't need more than few seconds to be ready to start to work.
See More
Top
Con
May be merged with PostCSS in the future
Since Stylecow is pretty small and hasn't gained a lot of traction in the past 5 or so years since it was first released but also because it serves kind of the same purpose as PostCSS which is much more popular, there have been discussions on merging the two projects together.
See More
Top
Pro
Advanced API and parser
The parser detects any CSS syntax error found. The output code can be customized to follow your own code style rules (indentation, spaces, string quotes, etc). It has a clean and powerfull API, which make easy to create new plugins.
See More
Top
Con
Small community
Stylecow doesn't have a very large community. This can make it difficult to find answers and increases the risk of the project being abandoned.

Pro
Style webpages with a full programming language
With Garden, you have access to all the core features of a powerful programming language to build your scripts, including functions, variables, namespaces, and data manipulation like map merging or concatenation.
See More
Top
Con
Harder to apply shared styles
Because you are working in Clojure, you can't just paste in raw css style snippets shared elsewhere.
See More
Top
Pro
Full-stack Clojure with ClojureScript for front-end + Clojure for backend
Garden finishes the full Clojure stack experience β you can have the entire codebase in a single language with ClojureScript on the front-end, Clojure on the backend, and Garden for CSS.
See More
Top
Pro
Hot loading
Using the core Garden auto loader or the excellent Garden Gnome plugin, watch your style changes take effect in the browser as soon as you save the code β no reload required.

Top
Pro
Styles as data-nesting are obvious
Clojure is a data-oriented programming language with strong emphasis on simple, clear inline data structures. Garden models styles using these same structures, making the cascade visually obvious.
See More
Top
Pro
Clean syntax
Other options listed include various pain-points like use of @ symbols or too much cruft; because Garden is just Clojure, and Clojure is a very well-designed language aimed to emphasize simplicity and positive developer experience (without semantic whitespace problems), you have the full benefit of a well-designed and general-purpose syntax.

Powerful advanced function features
You are able to declare custom functions with Sass (for example, converting units) which can be easily invoked, even when using shorthand properties. This results in cleaner, more reusable code.

Con
Requires Ruby or libSass
To compile Sass, it needs either Ruby or libSass installed locally.
See More
Top
Pro
Nested selectors
Sass allows you to nest selectors which results in code that is both faster to write and cleaner to read. For example, this: .parent color: blue .child color: yellow Will compile to this: .parent { color: blue; } .parent .child { color: yellow; }
See More
Top
Con
Noisy syntax
There is many unnecessary characters when using the SCSS syntax. {}:;@ However using the Sass syntax eliminates them.
See More
Top
Pro
Rapid development
Another big advantage for Sass is the very active community pushing the development forward at a rapid pace. Sass is constantly coming out with bug fixes, and are often the first to come out with improvements. This is an important factor to keep in mind when picking a preprocessor to invest your time into.
See More
Top
Pro
Extends CSS maintaining compatibility with CSS standards specification
It comes with two possible syntaxes: Sass - No parens or semicolons allowed and the nesting is dictated with whitespace. SCSS - SCSS syntax is a superset of CSS β which means SCSS can be written as CSS, but has been expanded to include the features of Sass as well. SCSS is easier to pick up for beginners and Sass has a cleaner syntax. Having both syntaxes means you can pick the one that best suits your coding style. The mandatory syntax rules for both SCSS and Sass results in a more consistent code. For a more detailed analysis between Sass and SCSS go here.

Compass framework provides added features
Sass can be used with a framework called Compass, which provides additional functions and mixins which can reduce the amount of code you have to write. For example, Compass will take care of vendor prefixes. This: div { background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(#F00, #000); background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(#F00, #000); background-image: -o-linear-gradient(#F00, #000); background-image: linear-gradient(#F00, #000); } Can be written as: .gradient { @include background-image(linear-gradient(#F00, #000)); } For a full list of features, check out the Compass documentation.

Top
Pro
Easy to learn
Because Less has a lightweight feature set, is syntactically similar to CSS and can be run client side with file conversion on a page reload, it is easy to pick up by anyone familiar with CSS & the very basics of JS. Also, Less has detailed and well-organized documentation, GUI apps that can watch and compile code for you and a huge, active and helpful community.
See More
Top
Con
Less uses '@' to declare variables
The '@' symbol is used with Less to declare variables. However '@' already has meaning in CSS, as it is used to declare @media queries and @keyframes. This can result in some confusion when reading the code.
See More
Top
Pro
Familiar CSS style syntax
The LESS syntax is essentially the same as CSS with extensions for dynamic behavior such as variables, mixins, operations and functions. Variables: @color: #4D926F; #header { color: @color; } h2 { color: @color; } Mixins: .rounded-corners (@radius: 5px) { -webkit-border-radius: @radius; -moz-border-radius: @radius; -ms-border-radius: @radius; -o-border-radius: @radius; border-radius: @radius; } #header { .rounded-corners; } #footer { .rounded-corners(10px); } Nested Rules: #header { h1 { font-size: 26px; font-weight: bold; } p { font-size: 12px; a { text-decoration: none; &:hover { border-width: 1px } } } }

Popular
Less is one of the most popular preprocessors due to being the easy to learn and its use in Twitter Bootstrap.

Top
Con
No custom functions
Less does not offer custom functions and instead requires the use of mixins. This is limiting in many ways - Functions cannot be called on shorthand values, they cannot return a value, and code needs to be repeated depending on where the mixin is needed.

Stylus

Experiences
Pros

Cons

Top
Pro
Clean syntax
Stylus has an extremely terse syntax. Colons, semicons and braces are all optional allowing you to write Stylus code however you want. hover-darken(percent) if @background &:hover background: darken(@background, percent) .test background: blue hover-darken(50%) The hierarchy is required to be whitespace indented which makes it easier to identify which parent selectors child selectors belong to.
See More
Top
Con
Ambiguous syntax
The Stylus syntax is very loose and that leads to ambiguity where some definitions can mean different things. For example, hashed objects cannot be used when you choose to omit colons in your definitions, because the dot notated object getters could also be a nested class selector. As a result, you lose being able to use hashed object getters if you decided to write Stylus without colons.
See More
Top
Pro
Powerful feature set
Not only does Stylus support all the features from Less and Sass, it provides features not found anywhere else: You can get properties from parents and pull them into children and/or mixins - if the property isn't found, it will bubble up until it finds a match Introspective API, where a CSS block can tell if itβs at root level or not and change its output based on this Splats - taking variable amount of arguments in as an array Automatically vendor prefixes @keyframes Pass a CSS literal block wherever you want Convert files to base64
See More

Con
Not under active development
Development of stylus has stagnated, there are lots of known bugs and it does not work well newer features like CSS Grid or custom poperties. See https://github.com/stylus/stylus/issues
See More
Top
Pro
Transparent mixins
One of Stylus' distinguishing features is transparent mixins: reusuable, possibly dynamic styles that look exactly like native CSS properties. This is particularly useful for using future non-prefixed properties and having them transparently expand to their prefixed counterparts without any special, preprocessor-specific syntax.

Con

Pro
Easy to integrate in projects already using npm
Stylus runs on node.js which makes it very easy to integrate into your project if you're using npm.

Top
Con
Not as popular as Less and Sass
Stylus is younger than both Less and Sass, and not yet at the same level of popularity. As a result, Stylus currently has a smaller and less active community than the two more popular options.
See More
Top
Pro
Powerful @extend support
@extend gives inheritance and unlike for other preprocessors, you can pass any CSS selector, not just classes.
See More
Top
Con
Inconsistent style/flavour in different projects
Due to having such a loose syntax, the coding style can vary between different Stylus projects, making it hard to apply styles from other projects that use a different syntax style β at least if you care for consistency.
See More
Top
Pro
Awesome error reporting
Stylus has clear and detailed error reporting that includes stack traces and line numbers.
See More
Top
Con
Heavily reliant on whitespaces
Stylus relies heavily on whitespaces to separate and define code blocks. While this makes for a cleaner syntax, it's also easier to make mistakes when indenting stuff, especially when working with someone else's code where you don't use the same style of indentation.

Con
Difficult for beginners
Rework has a more involved setup that can make it an intimidating first option for beginners to css processing. As Rework is built around plugins, the documentation can't be found in one spot. The quality of documentation also varies between plugins.
See More
Top
Pro
Unrestricted potential
Because Rework plugins are done in code, there are no limits to what they can do, and they tend to provide more advanced functionality that would be harder to implement in other preprocessors, such as file I/O and custom logic.
See More
Top
Pro
Built around plugins
Rework isn't a language for compiling to CSS but rather a library around parsing it and transforming it. For example, a vendor prefix plugin will inject prefixes around needed properties so you don't have to muddy up your CSS dealing with it. Because Rework is built around plugins at its core, it makes for easier plugin writing if you find you want to add in new functionality.
See More
Top
Pro
Can work with other preprocessors
Although you don't have to, since Rework works on vanilla CSS, you could use another preprocessor that has a syntax you enjoy more before applying Rework's transforms.

Pro
Allows for customized properties
Rework plugins can recognize custom properties and transform them via plugins. This allows you to keep your CSS clean and expand its functionality in a native feeling way, without having to learn a bunch of new language constructs.

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.

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.

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.
