 qualified by :root?  can you give us an example here?
 
 
 In HTML, :root is functionally equivalent to html. Not supported by IE
 prior to version 9, so a rule like this:
 
 :root .thumbs .figure { display: inline-block; }
 
 ...would be ignored by old IE.

This wasn't on my radar, but even still, there are better solutions out
there to handle CSS. I looked through the little documentation that this
tool gave, and I doubt it has the level of support that Compass and SASS
have. I would stick with Compass and SASS; they have a good following and
community around them and there are loads of extensions (mixins, functions
etc.) in Github and the like.

For the record, I was referring to :root, not the site mentioned by the OP.

I do not use this. I rely on progressive enhancement. If IE has square
corners instead of round, for example, so be it. It's ok. It doesn't
render the content inaccessible.

I do, however, use http://selectivizr.com/ to make my life easier as
it allows the use of advanced selectors which saves some extra fussing
and extra markup for old browsers.

Short answer - I don't even try to make all browsers act alike. :)

Start with a simple design for mobile and old browsers. Add advanced CSS
inside @media queries or qualified by :root. Enhance IE 7 and 8 if you need
to with rules governed by conditional comments.

This is my version of progressive enhancement. YMMV.

Looking at the documentation for eCSStender suggests to me there's going to
be a severe performance hit on page load. I hope I'm wrong.

In HTML, :root is functionally equivalent to html. Not supported by IE
prior to version 9, so a rule like this:

:root .thumbs .figure { display: inline-block; }

...would be ignored by old IE.
