Removing scss from Aurelia 2 CLI: feedback wanted

Hello everyone,

I have proposed to the core team removing scss support from the Aurelia 2 CLI (the npx makes aurelia scaffolding). To be perfectly clear, this would only be for newly generated Aurelia 2 projects going forward if we remove support for this.

The reasoning behind this is to reduce the surface area of the CLI in terms of options. We currently ask you if you want to use scss or css, this change would remove this step from the CLI and default to CSS. The idea being those personalised choices developers are already used to configuring in other frameworks and libraries.

We would then document how you can configure your Aurelia 2 apps to support scss in the official docs.

We just want to know if this will be detrimental to others in the Aurelia community or if this change won’t actually change anything for you and new Aurelia 2 apps you build.

Please voice feedback here. If you support this change and don’t have an opinion, it would be a huge help if you could just respond to the issue on GitHub with a thumbs up emoji.

As long as there is stylesheet support from scratch it does not really matter for me whether this is CSS or SCSS.

For a small project CSS is often fine. And for a larger project, implementing SCSS as separate step does hardly affect the total amount of time needed.

I typically use scss, but would not mind if it was removed from the scaffolding tool. There is already some info in the docs, this might need to be updated though.
