Hi Richard,

No I am not trolling. I just want to highlight that I don't think
learning to use white space is hard to do. However, I respect your
argument that it "looks like CSS", but am worried that anyone who is
going to learn SCSS could have just learned Sass instead.
I tend to agree with you emotionally -- I've never understood the
reflexive hate that whitespace-sensitive languages get (not just Haml/
Sass but python, too). However, reading this and other mailing lists,
it's clear that that hate isn't going away. The immediate buzz that
the CSS-similar-but-otherwise-just-like-Sass language LESS got upon
its introduction _last year_ is further evidence against the
assumption that anyone who would consider using SCSS would just as
easily use Sass.
Sass and Compass are both great tools. It seems to me that Nathan and
Chris are making changes that will help them become more widely used
without losing any of their goodness. I don't see any reason to worry.

I dont think we have any hard evidence to prove that by pushing SCSS
we are going to gain any users. Any one interested in Sass could
figure out the indentation based syntax easily. Seriously, how long
would it take... 10 minutes??...

The Sass docs probably won't have such a toggle, though. And yes, this
probably will mean that the indented syntax will have fewer users, and
thus fewer bug reports etc. However, it will still be mentioned in the
reference and on the website, if not featured prominently, and I'm
confident that enough people will continue using it to keep it alive.
