CSS Frameworks

Once again, Tailwind CSS stands apart as the one major UI framework that developers are happy to keep using; while Open Props is generating a small but passionate following.

Technologies with less than 10% awareness not included. Each ratio is defined as follows:

  • Retention: would use again / (would use again + would not use again)
  • Interest: want to learn / (want to learn + not interested)
  • Usage: (would use again + would not use again) / total
  • Awareness: (total - never heard) / total
💡
The Experience Over Time chart can be toggled between retention, interest, usage, and awareness to give you a fuller picture of a category.

Positive/Negative Split

This chart splits positive (“want to learn”, “would use again”) vs negative (“not interested”, “would not use again”) experiences on both sides of a central axis.

Bar thickness represents the number of respondents aware of a technology.

We asked members of the CSS community to share their “pick of the year”
