summary
CSS3 now has broad browser support but still requires fallbacks; the single worst anti-pattern is location-dependent styles because they break reuse. Steve Souders’ HTTP Archive shows images dominate page weight, so using CSS gradients replacing images plus shadows and inset effects can eliminate requests and shrink pages, though complex gradient patterns (Lea Verou’s plaid-style work) can be as large as images. Mobile fragmentation and iOS lacking position:fixed cause extra JS work, and progressive adoption of CSS3 is pragmatic and measurable.
