The biggest feature I miss from Sass is the indented syntax (though SugarSS does that better since it has multiline support); for now I make due even if semicolons and brackets add noise. There's still a use case for Sass if you need to build a CSS library and the loops and stuff is useful, but for general, contemporary CSS authoring, wanting to reach for loops and these extra features is a sign of a smell more so than not.

Yes! The indented syntax is why I’ve stuck with Sass, Stylus and SugarSS for all these years for the same reasons you stated.
But… I decided it was worth going back to plain CSS due to CSS Nesting and to simply my tooling.
I decided to not use Sass on my latest project; feels like CSS is at the point where I didn't need it any more. CSS has come a long way.
