The State of CSS 2025 Survey dropped a few days ago, and besides waiting for the results, it’s exciting to see a lot of the new things shipped to CSS over the past year reflected in the questions. To be specific, the next survey covers the following features:
calc-size()shape()- Scroll-driven animations
- Container scroll-state queries
- CSS Carousels
text-box-edgeandtext-box-trimfield-sizing::target-text@functiondisplay: contents- Advanced
attr() if()sibling-index()andsibling-count()
Again, a lot!
However, I think the most important questions (regarding CSS) are asked at the end of each section. I am talking about the “What are your top CSS pain points related to ______?” questions. These sections are optional, but help user agents and the CSS Working Group know what they should focus on next.
By nature of comments, those respondents with strong opinions are most likely to fill them in, skewing data towards issues that maybe the majority doesn’t have. So, even if you don’t have a hard-set view on a CSS pain point, I encourage you to fill them — even with your mild annoyances.
I’m curious whether this post was edited to add the link… The one I got in my feed reader does not show the link. I clicked through to this page, and there it is.
Nope, it was there all along!
