If we take the following two lines for example... background-image: linear-gradient(90deg, hsl(var(midtone), 50%, 75%), hsl(var(midtone), 50%, 25%)); background-image: linear-gradient(90deg, hsl($midtone, 50%, 75%), hsl($midtone, 50%, 25%)); Personally I find it easier to scan and pick-out the variables in the second line. I also find that it's easier to type, requires less tracking of balancing parentheses, and seems to more intuitively indicate a variable than var(), which I would think was a function of some sort.
