I mostly use preprocessors but this seems like a natural evolution for css. And like all modern css features, IE support makes it obnoxious. If I'm adding fallbacks, and still want consistency on IE, I'm back to find and replace.. and at that point, why even bother with the css vars.

So true. When I made the memory game project it was for a class and we didn't have to worry about backwards compatibility. IE has to get on top of things, we aren't even asking that they're a leader, just so they're even with everyone else.
