    No - CSS and JavaScript are two ways of defining the same thing, an animation. Safari runs its accelerated animations with CoreAnimation - is CoreAnimation a CSS animation?

    Not really - watches are historically round because of roundrel clock faces. A square is a better form factor for literally everything else that an Apple Watch does. So it is the A…

    If you add a x scale of ~2.3 on the logo it's clear they just took the whole thing and scaled it down. Looks so much better.

    Yes and no - IE was hated in part for deviating from standard/showing weird behaviour. But more than that it was dragging its feet on implementing new CSS and JS standards so they …

    I mean the library is like a decade old so "finally back" is a stretch

    Interesting you assume they didn't consider this. They probably did. How do this two behaviours compose together/interact with each other?
