10 years ago people said the same about the CSS3 changes.

I find most of this useless/overcomplicated. Who needs rounded corners? I like my png slicing. And what are box shadows anyway? There's nothing flexbox can do that I can't achieve with tables. Transitions are bad, transparency is for Apple fanbois, animations the devil's farts, and don't get me started on media queries. Phones should remain Nokia bricks.

This isn't even a straw man. Further down we're still having the tables vs CSS debate. I'm so happy we got all of the above and more and can't wait to see what's next.

In OP's defense, I still say those things about the CSS3 changes.


Good for you. The rest of us will be using these new features to make great websites with far less wasted time and effort than before.


Exactly. Thank you for saying this. The curmudgeonliness on HN is ridiculous.


I can only remember that we applauded CSS3. Rounded corners and shadows were crucial to implement the design of the day. Animations and transitions were lovely. It was an exiting time to make stuff.
