11,971 PointsSass is making media queries more complicated?
The question is related to: https://teamtreehouse.com/library/css-to-sass/refactoring-with-sass/defining-media-queries
I just feel like, when we use media queries in css, we have everything together very neat. With the sass, I just feel that we have so many files, like the rule for arrow, we have to add media queries there, then another rule in another file, is like we are doing work for work? I generally understand the concept of sass, small maintainable pieces, but this is just like too much. Am I the only one, who thinks that?

I know what you mean as it's easy to think of Sass as another, perhaps unnecessary, layer to your workflow. The only thing I can say is the more practice you put in the less it'll seem like extra work.

19,277 PointsWell, if you read the compiled CSS on media queries by SASS it's kinda complicated. haha
But it's really much better and for me, it's much easier because you don't have to list back all your ids, classes and elements. You'll just have to put the media-query you want your element to have below it.
But again as @Guil said it's really on your personal preferences.
Hope this help convincing you shifting to the SASS side.. haha
Cheers!

Treehouse TeacherHi brinka,
One of the best parts about Sass is that regular CSS is also 100% valid Sass (SCSS). So you can keep writing your media queries the way you normally do with CSS, if that's how you like to work. :)
