I find Haml easy to parse visually and prefer it to HTML and ERb (except for pages that are mostly static content—Haml sucks for those). The only reason I don't use it in the Rails Tutorial is that it's not quite standard enough. Neither was Sass, though, until Rails 3.1 added it by default, and the next edition of the book (due out soon) uses Sass throughout. Will Haml chart the same course? Stay tuned.

N.B. It's Haml and Sass, not HAML and SASS.
