The other side of the coin is that any additional dependency 
added to the build process is going to contribute in turning away 
people who want to contribute to Phobos and just want to see what 
the resulting docs will look like.

DDoc syntax is not that alien in comparison, and is pretty 
self-explanatory. I honestly think there is a lot of exaggeration 
in this thread. Some people complaining in this thread have never 
even contributed anything in the first place!

That said I don't see a lot of demand for preprocessing our CSS 
files at the moment.

And, to add a data point, I have never used (or needed) neither 
SASS or LESS, despite creating a lot of web apps and even working 
at a web design company for a bit. I don't feel like I'm missing 
out.
