State of CSS 2023 Suggestions

[SachaG]

How can we make the 2023 edition even better?

PLEASE include Ember.js as a votable option for Front end frameworks. It is used by several in the community and for some a preferred option. Yet every year it never makes it onto the list of choices.

This is a thread for the State of CSS survey, not the State of JS survey. Also Ember is an option in the State of JS survey already.

• [ ] Individual transform properties
• [ ] Add question about which color spaces people use in "CSS Usage"

Quick recap of chat with @huijing :

Features

• content_visibility: consider removing it
• text_wrap_balance: add
• lang_selector: add
• individual_transform_properties: add

CSS Usage

• Browser incompatibilities: switch to predefined options + freeform format; figure out why browsers show up in that list
• Missing features: switch to predefined options + freeform format; see various CSS wishlists (https://chriscoyier.net/2023/02/14/2023-css-wishlists/) for inspiration
• Pain points: switch to predefined options + freeform format
• Maybe add question about specific color spaces usage?
• Maybe add question about animations?
• Maybe add question about "most impactful new feature that you started using in the past year"

Resources

• Come up with new Video Creators list; make it inclusive/diverse if possible.
  • Note: ended up setting this aside for now as there are not that many CSS-focused video creators.
