I'm not a big fan of using markdown for creating HTML, but using a CSS compiler has definitely been helpful for me in writing CSS. Nested styles makes your code much more maintainable, and makes inheritance easier. Plus, variables and basic arithmetic operations are nice.
CleverCSS is a CSS compiler pretty similar to Sass, which I tend to prefer for the simple reason that Sass requires my indents to be two spaces, and it doesn't matter in CleverCSS. The only problem is that it doesn't seem to be maintained anymore, and there are a couple of annoying bugs in the official release. I submitted patches but to no avail, so I'm hosting the patched code here: http://django-css.googlecode.com/files/CleverCSS-0.1.2.zip
I was so pumped on CSS compilers that I wrote this so you can use them in your Django projects: http://django-css.googlecode.com
