Yeah, this is true. That's why I actually don't use compass, it does add quite a bit if you're not careful. I do use sass macros though, minimally. For example, these I find to be useful macros: =text_overflow_hidden :overflow hidden :white-space nowrap :text-overflow ellipsis =reset_box_model :margin 0 :padding 0 :border 0 =quiet :color #666 I wouldn't define those within a css class and use it all over my markup.
