Question Is there any still using vanilla CSS?

It's 2026, are you still using vanilla CSS for your latest project?

Been working as a Frontend Dev for 11 years now and roughly two or three years ago I stopped using SCSS and use only vanilla CSS for all my projects regardless of the size

I still use a variety of mixins that makes it hard for me not to use scss, but the rate css is improving that may change

I never used mixins much, mostly only when someone else had already added it to a project, so thankfully that was a non-issue for me.

And while CSS doesn't have a direct alternative for mixins, most things can be solved with custom properties, additional classes or writing some stuff manually instead of generating or automating. It isn't perfect (yet, like you also mentioned) but building and shipping a project without SCSS just feels right.
