Any numbers available?

looks like a problem with my chromium as firefox is almost idle when displaying the indicators. (30.0.1599.114 Developer Build 30.0.1599.114-0ubuntu0.12.04.3 x86_64)

It works fine on Safari on my iPhone 4.

Are you telling me that CSS can now make nice animated wobbling circles but still can't center in a sane way? (Nice work, btw, like the animations =)

I find centering in CSS pretty easy currently, what about it is troubling you? This resource (http://timseverien.nl/2013/10/css-alignment-and-sizing/) showcases a number of techniques.

I agree with gizzlon. The inline-block versions are the closest things to actually saying "put this block in the middle". For a system that claims to be all about layout, it shouldn't be so obtuse to say "stick this, whatever this is, in the middle."

Also, auto-flowing text split between columns as a "column" property of some kind would be nice.

The list you provided is handy, but it shouldn't require knowing that you have to look up specific cases.

There's an old phrase that the bad workman blames his tools and it seen to apply here too. It's really not difficult and why complain about it being obtuse? If you understand the fundamentals then it makes sense. As for the last sentence well the list he provided is only for people that need to look it up (like you) - that's like me saying to my car mechanic that I should have to look up where the fuses are in the car. If you don't know something you have to look it up (taking what? .4 seconds on google?) - if you knew it you'd obviously not have to look it up. Stop whining and learn this stuff.
