Your example above sure looks like nesting to me, it just forces you to 
put things in (and read, and download) separate files. In the case of a 
short stylesheet, that's just unnecessary complication that does not 
help you read or write it.

Seems messy having separate features like nesting and importing bundled 
into @import.

If you were to use @import to nest 15 levels of @-rules, I don't think 
the result would always be signifigantly prettier.
