First of all, loving the extension. Some first impressions: - underscore casing of variables in scss files borks the highlighting, not the compilation. - support less background compilation, chirpy does this too. - coffeescript intellisense would be a killer feature! - Are you guys planning to opensource this ? It would help consolidate alot of efforts made by other projects |

- The underscore casing highlighting borks on css classes too - I cant seem to set string variables withouth upsetting the highlighting ($var: url("")) - using functions are a bit of hit and miss if i use a function inbetween other statements say in a background declaration it will say syntax error but still compile fine. |

!important declarations throw highlighting off as well:
background-color: $topNavigationColor !important; |

Thanks for the feedback and the kind words. We have fixes for underscores in selector and variable names, for the url('') issue and the !important issue. These should be up on the Visual Studio Gallery in the next few hours. We're not quite sure what you're describing with functions -- could you paste a code fragment or upload an example file please? Thanks! We'll take a look at Less compilation -- we thought most people would be referencing their Less files directly from their HTML pages (and using less.js to apply them) so we didn't investigate this very far. I can't make any promises though. We'd love to do CoffeeScript intellisense but this is quite tricky for a dynamic language like CoffeeScript and we can't afford to invest the resources right now (especially in a free product). We do appreciate the feedback though -- it really does help us prioritise! Regarding open sourcing: we are not currently planning to open source it but we will continue to review this. |

Hi Mindscape, I have some first use feedback as well:
This is still great as a free product, don't get me wrong, but the CoffeeScript definitely needs some more coloring, even if you have to reuse existing styles like keyword/operator/etc. |

I have to agree about the CoffeeScript highlighting - I was about to post a screenshot of my code to ask if it was working properly, but I think you just described what I'm seeing. Still, there is great promise and I look forward to future improvements! :) |
