Technical Improvements
As a merchant you will benefit from the technical improvements. After all, if the technology runs better and the environment is more professional, the platform will perform better and ultimately cost less.
Improved file structure
In Magento 2, the file structure has changed quite a bit. Initially, all basic views have been shifted to the module structure. This means that each module will soon have its own view directory where you can call all template, layout, js and css/less files, from all the different modules.
New techniques
Magento 2 includes nice new features like support for PHP7, default less CSS preprocessor and support for jQuery. By using HTML5, extensions and themes can be made fully responsive. And through CSS3 there are many new visual possibilities at your feet.
CSS preprocessing
To ensure that developers can easily extend and maintain their CSS, Magento 2 provides CSS preprocessing by default. Using a CSS preprocessor speeds up front-end development, especially for complex themes. In Magento 2, Less is used as the default CSS preprocessor, but developers can also use Sass or Compass.
Automatic testing
A completely new feature in Magento 2 is the flawless testing framework that is focused on performance. There are approximately 2,600 integration, 7,700 unit, 100 JavaScript unit and 100 static tests to improve your performance.
