Variables in CSS are starting to make Sass and similar preprocessors less necessary, but the nesting is invaluable in my view, so I don’t think it should be deemed a dead technology.

In React I use Styled Components because I love making single-file components, but I’d use Sass if I were making single-file components in Vue or if I were using some other frameworks.

What I’m currently interested in is how we can share styling across native mobile apps and web apps. Styled Components seems like it could help with that, but I haven’t seen anything that would make Sass viable for that, so that’s where it may fall down.

I love nesting, it's my favourite part of Sass/SCSS (tbh I don't gel with Sass, but I'm a big SCSS user)! I wish I could get onboard with the styled components train but it irritates my old-school 'separation of concerns' personage....and I know, I know, we're already mixing that water with HTML inside JS....but humans gonna human...
