It is cute that I am rewarded with achievement messages and awards for simply looking at the different styles. That was certainly all the rage in 2011. I used to get quite excited getting to a new coffee shop level on Foursquare.<p>Sadly, the novelty wore thin.
Nothing new year, it has been here for years.(2011) they made it a bit after the job/flash backlash to show that Adobe cared about Open Techs. Well Adobe always cared about Open Tech, it was the main driving force pushing Ecmascript 4, ironically , Microsoft didn't want it,even though they had Jscript.net which was exactly ES4, and are now trying to push Typescript as an alternative to JS. We lost 8 years because Microsoft cared more about Silverlight than making Javascript better...
How did they get those numbers for browser support? For example, for CSS3 animations they say that 53.91% can view that feature and they source caniuse.com, but if you actually go to the feature page on caniuse.com it says there's over 88% support.[1]<p>[1] <a href="http://caniuse.com/#feat=css-animation" rel="nofollow">http://caniuse.com/#feat=css-animation</a>
It's not exactly been kept up to date, most obviously by not taking into account IE10 and later. Support for things like box-shadows and gradients is pretty much at least 90% now, close to 100% in the western world.
