Is it worthwhile coding [W3.CSS framework] in v4 or will this cause issues for end users?

CSS v4 was released March of last year.  It is supposed to be faster and is also supposed to provide enhanced support for the progressive enhancement philosophy (mobile first design).

Is this indeed the case?  Is it worth while coding CSS in v4 or will doing so create issues for end users?

I would much appreciate your thoughts.

Cheers

Jay

    The OP could mean -

    https://www.w3schools.com/w3css/w3css_versions.asp

    To the OP -

    If it is the w3css version 4 that you are asking about, this is a w3 css framework and nothing to do with the official W3C. So it is for the user to decide, and the use of the framework is the same as someone deciding to use bootstrap.

    The w3schools is NOT to be confused with the W3C, and is not associated in any way with the W3C -

    Guys I am sorry, I was on a mobile and for some reason hadn't noticed that I was on the wrong the site.  I would delete this question as pziecina​said, this was a mistake on my behalf about what site I was on.  It was a typing error that lead me to the W3Schools website rather than the W3C website.

    That is why this question did not make any sense at all.  I am sorry, I would delete the question if I knew how but there doesn't appear to be a way now that it has been answered.

    Sorry guys. I thought it was weird, as I hadn't heard of CSS4, which is why I posted the question about it but obviously I hadn't since I was on the wrong site in the first place.

    damn it I feel like a noob now. I will give the best answer to pziecina​ as they spotted my silly mistake.  Next time I really need to make sure what site I am on before I go asking questions.

    Thanks guys

    Jay

    Don't worry about confusing the W3schools site with the W3C, as many people do so, and many continue to think it is associated with the official W3C in some way.

    If you are interested in knowing about the W3C specs, and how to use them beyond trying to follow the specs, (which are mainly written for implementors) then the site recommended by Mozzila, (Firefox), Microsoft and more importantly the W3C themselves is -

    https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/

    The site gives very good explanations, examples and browser support info, on all the W3C specs that are implemented in browsers, (even if that is just one browser).

    My 'confusing isn't it' comment was in reference to the OP's original post, and that person obviously not realising that css itself has level 4 specs.

    As for Behance having bootstrap related job ads, and most other job sites not mentioning frameworks. This could be because Behance is an Adobe product, and most people having a CC subscription look at Dw and associate it and the people who use it, with using Bootstrap for the creation of web sites.

    I'm not a big advocate of the W3's CSS framework but it's lightweight and a good starting point for beginners to responsive web design.

    Whichever framework you decide to use --  be it W3's CSS, Bootstrap, Skeleton, Foundation, etc... --  it's often best to use the latest version.   According to their release notes, ver 4 is an improvement over ver 3.

    They might mean this: Selectors Level 4

    But... the more I look at it, the more I think they're talking about the W3Schools' framework.
