https://github.com/LearnBoost/stylus . There are both positive and negative sides.

Positive:

- more simple & clear syntax
- better customizations (additional modules)
- embedding images to data uri
- nib (autoinsert vendor-styles)
- debug info for firebug (show stylus source line numbers for css rules)

Negative:

- Stylus doesn't have mode to run in browser. Only as compiler. But it's not a big problem to run make, and correct info in firebug really helps in development.

I think, advantages are more significant, and worth to migrate. I'm ready to make convertion.
