> excess of repetition is the definition of bad code

No. The lack of abstraction tools is the definition of a lower level language.

You know it's a lower level language when, as a developer, you feel the need for one higher. I submit Less and Sass as evidence.

Honestly, this alone making it to standard css would have me taking a week off knowing how much time I'd save in the future:

.c {.b .a}

... where a and b and c are all classes.
