I don't know, I never really liked Less and never understood why they picked it over Sass in the first place. In Less everything looks quite slick until you start doing loops, loops are just looking terrible (you can have a look at the documentation here: http://lesscss.org/features/#loops-feature). Since having loops is a big advantage of having a preprocessor, I never understood why Less was so popular.

Less was CSS compatible before Sass was, that's why I started using it. I really haven't ever had the need for loops. Less is also widely supported by all kinds of build tools, editors, IDE plugins etc. There's no searching for the wrong kind of Less as there would be for Sass since from what I understand there are two different types of Sass (Sass and SCSS).
