Stitches vs Less: What are the differences?
What is Stitches? The modern CSS-in-JS library with near-zero runtime. It is a fully-typed CSS-in-JS library featuring near-zero runtime, server-side rendering, multi-variant support, and a best-in-class developer experience.
What is Less? The dynamic stylesheet language. Less is a CSS pre-processor, meaning that it extends the CSS language, adding features that allow variables, mixins, functions and many other techniques that allow you to make CSS that is more maintainable, themable and extendable.
Stitches and Less can be categorized as "CSS Pre-processors / Extensions" tools.
Less is an open source tool with 16.4K GitHub stars and 3.45K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Less's open source repository on GitHub.

Absolutely fantastic, not only does it allow for modularity but it is armed with the most useful features like colour operations and nested styles to make you achive more by writing LESS.
love me some less. been less styling for around 3 years. makes working with bootstrap and responsive website a breeze. so much power in the language.
Customise the UIkit Front-End Framework, because of that is used to create the application CSS. I prefer SASS but is equivalent.
CSS Preprocessor, used primarily for variables to ensure brand colour continuity.
