Doesn't matter who it's "targeted" for or what the intentions were — the fact of the matter is that Sass (and basically <i>any</i> other programming language designed to make html/css "better") is not popular in the design community. You can argue with this as much as you like, but when you are done, the cold harsh <i>reality</i> will still be that designers in general don't like programming.<p>This should not puzzle you, nor the people behind Sass. If designers liked programming they would be <i>programmers</i>.
