Inline styles is fantastic for when you want to pass a variable into a specific selector and override it. mix in or extends are the way to write one piece of CSS functionality that can then be applied to various other classes. I was never a fan of mix ins because I found it too hard to figure out where it was written like when it was compiled. It's not something I'm holding out for but it's something that I could see being useful in CSS.
