Full disclosure: I'm sort of a half-assed web developer. But I do plenty of web design and I find myself building smaller sites (mostly static with some wordpress) a couple times a year.
As a designer the benefit isn't really apparent to me for small sites, and it really confuses the shit out of me to have master css files and also LESS/SASS files with their own set of variables, etc.
TL;DR. It's really confusing to me.
- A few of the WP projects I did used LESS. I felt like I was basically doign twice the work to update the CSS and also the LESS markupd_rek

- Can't help but think css preprocessors feel like a developers solution to a developers problemd_rek
- It IS a developers solution to a developers problem. Build more than a couple sites a year and you'll need it.hereswhatidid
