django’s native form render method is to put out forms as tables. uni-form allows you to use template tags to have a real control of the divs and layout of your forms which is great for designing for people with disabilities and enhancing the overall user experience.

here’s a great slideshare i ran into on the topic

The most significant characteristic with haml and sass versus html and css is nested hierarchy of its elements. This takes a little while to get used to, since we’ve never written in white-space aware code (like python), yet is very powerful in eliminating un-necessary markup, following DRY conventions. Secondly, sass mixins, imports and patterns within compass-css framework make HTML5/xHTML design a sinch – without ever using photoshop.

We are excited to offer this to clients, saving precious development time, dollars, and energy.

This slideshare really helped me out a lot and I’m posting it for my future reference and for anyone else into learning Sass and Haml.
