Plugins are provided to support pre-processors and compilers such as Less, Stylus and Marko.
When I see this, I notice you don't mention Sass, which over 70% of web devs use (Less is down to sub-5%, and Stylus is still kicking it at around the 1% mark, and Marko is another internal eBay project that isn't well known).
I immediately assumed you didn't support Sass and realized Lasso is just some internal-use eBay thing, and they must be stuck using outdated Less, or have some weird affiliation with the creator of Stylus or something. Clearly not a product for general use.
I was just about to close the tab when I decided to Ctrl+F for sass and saw a plugin for it.
Anyways, the way you associate yourselves to other technologies effects the perception people have of your project. Namedropping obscure projects isn't a good way to obtain adopters. I would either remove the example all together, or replace them with more commonly used tools (like Sass in this instance). But in a broader light, just be more aware of the associations people will make and how it will cause them to make assumptions about your project.
