Which CSS Preprocessor do you think is the best?

I'm currently using SASS with Compass. Do you think its good or do you know a better one?

I use Sass mostly. Libsass really. I'm not sure how to qualify one as better. I just tend to follow the trend since more open source support and packages tend to come out for what's in, and lately it seem that postcss is the new kid gaining traction.

Thats my very simple way I pick my preprocessor.

Yeah I know is hard to tell which one is better but I wanted to know everyone's opinion. Thanks for your answer!

Like Kevin, Sass is my preferred preprocessor to use mainly due to its continuous improvements, community support and ease-of-use. That said; PostCSS is starting to look better with each update but is still a hard sell for me personally due to the syntax changes.
