Is There a Barrier to Entry for CSS?

The base syntax of nested objects and having to use quotes around your actual values is a bit of a deal breaker for me. I can't copy and paste my CSS code that exists into a glamorous object without doing some heavy modification. It's not just adding semi colons and colons or whatever, it's heavy modification. And especially if you're trying to bring on maybe you have people on your team that write the JS,. There's no way you're going to be able to convince those people they're not going to be happy switching over to such a rigid way of actually styling your application.
