The State of CSS survey just lately opened up. Final 12 months, the survey confirmed everybody’s assumptions that TailwindCSS is tremendous fashionable and CSS variables are mainstream. It additionally codified what many people need from CSS, from Container Queries to a dad or mum selector. (Spoiler alert, we now have each of ’em.)
Whereas I wouldn’t say the outcomes have been tremendous stunning annually, this time I’m excited to start out seeing extra historic traits reveal themselves. The survey has been working since 2019, in order that’s going to be 4 years (historic in front-end years!) of information to see if sure frameworks got here and went, particular options are gaining momentum, what basic studying practices are on the market, and simply plain extra context. It takes time for stuff to construct up like this, so kudos to Sacha Greif for preserving this factor going.
And talking of the group behind the survey, Lea Verou is new to the bunch and lead this 12 months’s version. Lea made some good additions, together with extra open-ended feedback, questions on browser inconsistencies, and a query that compares the period of time you write CSS versus JavaScript.
Browsers really use these things to assist prioritize what options to work on — so undoubtedly add your voice to the combo! The polls shut on October 20.
