Forms Experience & Sentiment

With forms being one of the main ways users interact with the web, it should come as no surprise that they present their set of challenges. One feature to keep an eye on is Customizable Select, which by virtue of being brand new is one of the least used form features, yet ranks second when ranked by positive sentiment.

Form Pain Points

Styling form inputs continues to be developers' top form-related pain point, especially when it comes to <select> elements. Speaking of <select>, the lack of “combobox” behavior (search, autofill, etc.) was also deeply felt since it often forces apps to rely on JavaScript workarounds
