Transitions and Transforms weren't available in 1999. Proper CSS animation with keyframes was first available in 2009 and even then browser support wasn't great

Transitions and Transforms weren't available in 1999. Proper CSS animation with keyframes was first available in 2009 and even then browser support wasn't great -- lots of polyfills like 'moz-' and 'webkit-' were required.
jQueryUI was miles ahead in terms of delivering cross-browser compatible UI animation, so why bother with CSS3 animation which wouldn't work on IE8?
- no_wizard 3y agoA modern jQuery UI could go such a long way. I suppose Bootstrap fits this bill in a lot of ways but I feel like jQuery UI was even easier
- rudasn 3y agoProblem with jQuery UI was that it was bloated and came right at a time where bootstrap was taking off, IIRC. jQuery mobile didn't help much either. The theming support was kind of nice though.
