For me it's the opposite. I find the nesting far easier to parse, especially when deeply nested. One thing to consider is what the average dev uses - looking at the 2021 state of css ( https://2021.stateofcss.com/en-US/technologies/pre-post-proc... ), SASS was used by 90% of responders, and of those 84% of them were satisfied with it.

There's a strong argument to be made that nesting is the standard way to write CSS these days (at least among the demographic that responded).
