   I designed for the most capable browser (in this case Safari) and then made sure it still worked well in all the others. If Firefox and IE had support for 3D animations then it would look "best" in every browser.

   Perhaps I should have said for an extra visual treat use Safari.

   I read it so you may not have to. Hardboiled Web Design author Andy Clarke started off disliking, being disappointed, and highly skeptical of the 'need' of preprocessing in regards to CSS in modern websites. After having used Twitter's Bootstrap solution, he's been won over. To quote:

   > "Whenever someone talks about tools like LESS or Sass, the conversation can too easily turn to which tool is best. I’m not interested in that. What matters is that we find tools and workflows that work well for us. LESS works for me. In fact, it works so well for me, that I can’t imagine working on a project without it."

   Result: we all win. Those who use an like LESS, SCSS, and their like save time. Those who don't use them remain just as capable as they've ever been.
