    The new selectors are the best thing that ever happend to us webdesigners. We can safe so many additional HTML tags and classes when using them.

  • liquido - 14 years ago

    please exclude @font-face from that poll... that's oooold-fashioned. new things about that are new licence-models for fonts used on webpages and new kinds of "open type" fonts, so that webfonts can be displayed no matter what OS visitors are using...

    to me, multiple column is it. no more php-workarounds for neat designs and dynamic content of different lengths...

  • BJ Del Rosario - 14 years ago

    Transformation and Animation :D

  • Trevor - 14 years ago

    Isn't @font-face CSS2?

  • Xiv - 14 years ago

    All of these...

  • Rob - 14 years ago

    background-clip:text;

  • Anoop Sajid - 14 years ago

    Multiple backgrounds. . and then border-radius, shadows etc.

  • Tom Franssen - 14 years ago

    Multiple background, with this I dont need to stack divs anymore for a div with rounded corners, oh but there's rounded corners too! Sweet Jesus!

  • Mato Ilic - 14 years ago

    I'm excited about that the combination of all the new features allows me to get rid of most of my JavaScript code

    Box-flex! http://hacks.mozilla.org/2010/04/the-css-3-flexible-box-model/

  • Dennis - 14 years ago

    I'm excited about everything New in CSS3! It's just awesome

  • Martin Fallend - 14 years ago

    Multi Background, @font-face, RGBa, Border Radius, Transformation & Animation ;)

    Text-Shadow isn't CSS3, it's CSS2(.0)

  • Doug Barned - 14 years ago

    "Multiple columns because it's the only feature that wasn't achievable with good hacks."

    I agree with Jasper Kennis :)

  • Robine - 14 years ago

    I am excited about the borders, but also about the @font-face feature... Can't wait!

  • Saifu - 14 years ago

    no doubt.......

    @font-face

  • Oleg - 14 years ago

    There are a few that I'm really excited about, all the shadow effects text and box, also multiple backgrounds will make life easier. New border options(radius, images). transformations will be immensely useful as well. so really I'm excited about all of the new features in css3

  • Adam - 14 years ago

    Oh and regarding @font-face - The Microsoft Equiv has been around since like IE4 or IE5 time? I have no idea why @font-face was used instead of the MS version.

  • Adam - 14 years ago

    To be quite honestly I'd be more excited if Microsoft would patch IE7 and IE8 to use CSS3, then again I'd be more excited if everyone who used IE6's PC blew up. :)

    Other than that I'd say multiple columns, multiple backgrounds and text shadow.

  • Jasper Kennis - 14 years ago

    Multiple columns because it's the only feature that wasn't achievable with good hacks.

  • Tjobbe - 14 years ago

    @font-face is NOT CSS3, it's CSS2.

    I'm most excited about RGBa, personally.

  • Veronica - 14 years ago

    Pretty much everything, but mostly box shadows and border radius since this will save having to use so many images!

  • Shaun - 14 years ago

    Transformations and Animations for me! :D

    Border-radius is old news now!

  • Alex - 14 years ago

    @font-face, border-radius, box-shadow, gradients, and rgba.

    I think there should've been an "all of the above" option! :)

  • Allison - 14 years ago

    Multiple backgrounds!

  • Paradox - 14 years ago

    Personally I am excited about parent selectors. Moving up the dom opens so many possibilities. Navigation menus and row highlights are just the start.

    That, and css gradients, reflections, transitions, nth-child, and HSLa color.

  • Luke - 14 years ago

    Multiple columns for sure! Cannot wait.

  • ed1nh0 - 14 years ago

    Multiple Backgrounds is the most exciting feature for me, followed by Border Radius. With MB you can do amazing things, even border radius! (and try think about alpha PNGs!)

  • CSSensei - 14 years ago

    Multiple backgrounds!

  • Northern Ireland Hotels - 14 years ago

    It has to be text shadow for me!! Although it isn't as popular as I thought...

  • Mark - 14 years ago

    Cool to see I'm not the only one super excited about @font-face becoming more standard. (But Martin's right, it is already out there)

  • Martin Rosell - 14 years ago

    Don't mean to be picky but @font-face is actually CSS2

  • Falko - 14 years ago

    Well it is hard to decide, i think all are very good (i voted for BORDER RADIUS, still my fav) and they will push the web forward. But it will still take it´s time until we can use it without having problems with cross browser compatibility.

  • Anonymous - 14 years ago

    Gradients!

  • Jordan Moore - 14 years ago

    CSS Transitions & Transforms

  • Denis Frietman - 14 years ago

    Transitions and animations.

  • Sean Hood - 14 years ago

    Animations, and the Flexible box model.

  • Gustavs Cirulis - 14 years ago

    Text shadows are great, if used properly. Also, the ability to have multiple backgrounds is going to make life easier too.

  • Horia Dragomir - 14 years ago

    Mostly shadows, but the multiple columns feature comes in as a close second!

  • Aljan Scholtens - 14 years ago

    Multiple backgrounds!

  • Milos Milikic - 14 years ago

    @font-face, border radius and multiple backgrounds

  • Marco - 14 years ago

    Shadow, gradients, tranformation and animations :) .

  • Jeffrey Ridout - 14 years ago

    Transformations, they will dramatically reduce the need for Flash and JavaScript.
