Feature request
It's great to see that Next.js 9.3 brings built-in Sass support, but since we are using customized Ant Design UI, we have no choice but to stick to Less.
I think if we can support built-in sass, would it be easier to support less as well?
Thanks!

At this point in time we're not planning to add LESS support as it's being used by less than 5% of Next.js applications.

I would also love to see built-in support for LESS, especially to support Ant design theme customization out of the box. If available, the number 5% will definitely jump as Ant Design is quite popular.

Note that less is already supported through the next-less plugin and that antd could be used with that (there's examples for it) and that already covers that percentage.

Here's a plugin to load ant-design with LESS correctly
next-plugin-antd

@anupsarode I agree. many people will use antd, antd depends on less, so why doesn't the official support less?
If you use Next.js > 9.3, you can try next-plugin-antd-less Use Antd
(with Less) with Next.js, Zero Dependency on other Next-Plugins.

The fact that this issue has not received any upvotes through github reactions (馃憤) further confirms that less should not be built in (making the maintenance burden significantly bigger for a feature that is barely used).

I understand maybe less is not commonly used in NextJS and we have the next-less plugin to achieve that, but the only issue with the current way is that the plugin is very old and based on the next-css plugin, which uses [email protected], and it makes achieving less support with CSS Module based on whether file extension has .module. difficult.
