Hi, I’m planning to migrate some of our clients to the new Horizon theme. I’d like to maintain modularity in our styles and optimize their loading as much as possible. So far, I’ve been using Vite and working with SCSS/TS files, which were then compiled into classic CSS and JS.
In 2025/2026, does it still make sense to use SCSS, given that CSS is gradually taking over a lot of functionalities? My main concern is keeping the BEM methodology and the ability to nest classes.
If you own the entire build process, and get paid to do so , and no liquid is involved so shopify is basically a deploy target then why not keep using the tooling if it works and there’s no missing features from using SCSS.
If the SCSS build relies on shopify then migrate sooner than later, Sass was deprecated 5 years ago.
With the biggest annoyance being /assets can’t use snippets, and scoping for {% render %} and the new blocks system means it’s not always possible to pass info back up the chain to build selectors.
Might also want to hit the developer forum, you’ll likely get more opinions and if your really invested maybe running a poll over there if possible.
