Vanilla+PostCSS as an Alternative to SCSS
Switching from a ready-made tool like Sass or a recommendation package like cssnext (deprecated since 2019) or PostCSS Preset Env (archived in 2022), to the modular PostCSS Preset Env plugin set we can choose a helpful and convenient set of future CSS features beyond the current stable client CSS.

PostCSS nesting with CSS variables isn't working in Tailwind CSS & Next.js
My PostCSS Config contains postcss-preset-env already which should support for CSS nesting. I also installed postcss-nested & postcss-css-variables, just in case.

Moving From Tailwind To Vanilla-er CSS
To solve this I used postcss-preset-env, which allowed me to define a "custom-media" with the name --viewport-lg and the value (min-width: 1024px). As postcss-preset-env also supported nested CSS this allowed for some pretty readable CSS.

Future of CSS: Functions and Mixins
Traditionally CSS lacked features such as variables, nesting, mixins, and functions. This was frustrating for Developers as it often led to CSS quickly becoming complex and cumbersome. In an attempt to make code easier and less repetitive CSS pre-processors were born. You would write CSS in the format the pre-processor understood and, at build time, you'd have some nice CSS. The most common pre-processors these days are Sass, Less, and Stylus. Any examples I give going forward will be about Sass as that's what I'm most familiar with.

Vanilla+PostCSS as an Alternative to SCSS
While we may disagree whether Sass is still relevant today, Mayank's case for using Sass in 2022 sums up the many use cases for Sass/SCSS including a timeline from 2006 (Sass) to "2022+" (nesting). Nesting CSS used to one of the few good reasons left to choose Sass, SCSS (or less) in a new web project.
