State of CSS 2024

Λειτουργίες

It's no secret that CSS is adding new features at a record rate – which is why we ended up asking about no less than 50 of them this year!

Features

Filter Effects (blur(), contrast(), etc.) were the unexpected most-used CSS feature of 2024, with 75.4% of respondents having used them; with the :has() selector a close second with 72.8%. When ranking for sentiment on the other hand, Subgrid turned out to be the most loved feature, with 51.5% of respondents willing to use it again. The least-used feature? None other than hanging-punctuation, with 84.7% of respondents never having even heard about it!

My 2024 Pick: Google's CSS Contributions

It's tempting to say something about the CSS powerhouse that Google has been recently, certainly in the last year. Rachel Andrew, Adam Argyle, Bramus Van Damme, Una Kravets, Tab Atkins, fantasai — and they are all doing big cool stuff publicly mostly.

Note: fantasai now works at Apple.

Reading List

The Reading List lets you save items you want to learn more about after the survey is complete. So it's no coincidence that the least-known-about feature, hanging-punctuation, also tops our Reading List rankings as the item developers saved the most!
