LESS animation library

I disagree. I used to use LESS since I could use node, but quickly realized it's inferior to the Sass/Compass combo. 99.9% of the servers that you are able to run node.js on will also allow you to install/run Ruby. What are the other reasons that I'm missing?

I'm curious about what makes Sass/Compass superior to LESS?

A simple example...

    // Less
    .rounded-corners (@radius: 5px) {
        -webkit-border-radius: @radius;
        -moz-border-radius: @radius;
        -ms-border-radius: @radius;
        -o-border-radius: @radius;
        border-radius: @radius;
    }

    // Sass + Compass
    .rounded-corners {
        // All vendor prefixes are generated for you
        @include border-radius(5px); 
    }

I'm sure there are plugins for Less that can accomplish the same. I just grabbed this code from the Less homepage.

Another thing... Sass has much nicer control flow (if/else, while, for) that can create very powerful mixins.
