Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-nesting] request to pick up the css-nesting proposal

I’m actually quite surprised reading so few comments pointing out the danger of misuse of this feature. Heck, what am I saying: it is a feature that _will_ get misused for sure. Thanks to @battaglr for pointing out the issues in your comments here.

It is my personal experience looking back at 5 years of professional work in web development, having seen and worked with really big Sass/Less architectures from very popular German websites, that the nesting of selectors is one of the main reasons why the resulting CSS is a maintainability nightmare.

I, of course, see also the benefits of the feature. But the reality is that you have a diverse pool of people working on stylesheets (especially when we are talking about big teams) and the misuses (which are, again, kindly elaborated by @battaglr in his comments here) are predestined, in my point of view.
