That's the advantage of Less (and SASS too for that matter) - you dont learn any new syntax. It uses CSS syntax to do nearly everything. I was thinking about how I could write my own preprocessor because I have a CMS that i customise by changing colours mostly, and i was thinking about how I could have a settings table or something and use CFFILE to output a stylesheet when I heard about LESS and to my delight - there it was! The very thing I was planning to write, was already written! And it took me about 10 minutes to learn what I needed to learn to use it.
