vihnboy - a debugger for CSS animations would be great. Luckily, the webkit inspector will tell you all the CSS properties an element carries and indicates CSS errors. However, it doesn't show you errors with associated keyframes - that would be awesome.

james33, johnyzee - the tech is pretty well supported, but indeed has a long way to go. It's in the css3 spec, which is great, and IE10 will support it. Remember - it's an extra layer of interaction, not an important feature of any website. use it subtly.

It may be an extra layer of interaction for a regular website, but if you are doing something entirely different like native browser games, it becomes more essential.
true, but as I've said here and on the site, the animations featured in the library are meant for interaction. I agree that until this tech evolves, games etc are better suited to Javascript animation (or even flash - or just let them stay in advanced languages and dedicated platforms!)
