How to deal with styles in Magento 2
We all know, Magento 2 introduced a new framework for frontend styling with less and grunt.
All the shiny new technologies, we learned to love for our frontend development in Magento 1
and it has a built-in compiling process, too — doesn’t this sound stellar?
In this talk we'll investigate why it could be good or why bad, to learn this new Magento 2 framework,
instead of trying to bend the system to the process we're comfortable with.

I didn't understand from this abstract if you are going to present only the new template system of Magento 2 or the full Magento framework itself. As backend developer, I will be more interested in the second one, even bacause Magento 2 is a mix of different framework from Zend Framework 2 (and 1) to Symfony. I think you need to be more clear on this in your abstract.

I agree, I'm a little unclear what this talk will be about. Also, it looks from your Github profile like English may not be your first language. Let me make some suggestions that should help it read better:

"Magento 2 introduced a new styling framework that almost has all the features of modern frameworks, and especially everything that Magento 2 needs. It uses preprocessor files and has a built-in compiling process— doesn’t this sound stellar? In Magento 1, we learned how to integrate a style process and reuse it in all our projects. In this talk, you will learn the pros and cons of using this new Magento 2 framework instead of trying to bend the system."

Specifically this sentence, I don't understand what it means or how it relates to a talk about Magento 2: " In Magento 1 we learned how to integrate a style process and we got comfortable with it, reusing it in all our projects." Since I don't know Magento, I can't make a suggestion about how it might be improved.

@ezimuel the talk will be only about the magento 2 frontend styles framework (less and grunt) so nothing about templates and nothing about how the system in general is working. Thought that would be clear from adding the keyword "styling" be I'll make it better. Thanks for that feedback.

@eryno Thanks for the hints about building better sentences, yes english is not my native language but hope it's not that bad ^^
the sentence you are not clear about is targeting on the common behavior which was established during the work with Magento 1. I wanted to point on that because it might be the reason which keeps ppl back from using the new framework. Think I should adjust that a bit to make it more clear.
