Include less.js while developing and it will compile LESS on the fly [1]. Then you just have to compile/minify the LESS files into CSS when you build your project and push to the server.
It's pretty much the same workflow. I transitioned to this and found it pretty painless (no pun intended). Instead of changing CSS every time, you're changing your LESS stuff. Then, when you're ready to deploy, compile it and push it out.
