I prefer to have the brackets (curly braces). That to me is cleaner and easier to understand the scope and intent of a given block of css/scss/sass.

The thing with Sass syntax is that it's not a valid CSS, while SCSS syntax is a superset of CSS. You can copy and paste any CSS and it'll work immediately in SCSS, without any need of reformatting, removing curly braces, etc... And let's face it, SCSS syntax is more popular than SASS (just look at the most popular libraries using sass)

Imho it's not about popularity, but about how the help me with my work, I've really enjoyed writing PUG code and then copy and pasting it in SASS and that helped me a lot!
