Feature Highlight: Customizable Select
Customizable Select may not currently be widely supported, yet it's a feature worth knowing about. While only used by 7.1% of respondents, 89% of developers who have used it report a positive experience.
And given that the <select/> element has always been a challenge to style, being able to finally customize it to your needs without resorting to JavaScript-based hacks is a welcome improvement!

Surprisingly, <input type="color"/> was the most used form-related feature this year, with 41.8% of respondents reporting having used it.
But when looking at positive sentiment, basic UI building blocks like autocomplete (<datalist>) and dropdowns (Customizable Select) top the rankings, showing that developers value features that are customizable and can be tailored to their needs.

Styling & customization of default form control UI elements remains a big stumbling block, with nearly half of pain points being about it.
Form validation is also a problem, especially when it comes to more advanced use cases like validating one field's value based on another.
