https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/7834#issuecomment..., on this exact matter (chosen as a convenient starting point, after matters were already settled, but the whole issue is about it).

https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/7961, about doing away with & in all cases for descendant selector (… which would be terrible for complexity and worst-case performance, and is only being considered because they already made things inconsistent by making & optional in every other case).

(I don’t like where it’s ended up, and consider requiring the & in all cases to be obviously materially superior, for both machine and human handling, and that there’s clear concrete advantage in having the requirement as an actual language rule rather than only a linter-enforced choice. People are far too hung up on exactly Sass syntax.)

People want freedom (as seen by the down-votes this comment seems to have gathered) and I do remember the old times when I was very excited for the creativity SASS gave me.

Then in-between then and now, I did a lot of consulting work, and now I'm strongly feeling that the more DRY you try to make CSS, the more you end up writing, and unmaintainable CSS at that. Random example:

https://github.com/primefaces/primeflex/blob/master/_sass/li...

SASS is too powerful for its own good.

TL;DR: I wholeheartedly agree with the above comment.
