RE: Reasons of using Canvas for UI design

We did an internal developer survey at Microsoft and found no developers that were recreating the standard UI controls in canvas in their HTML5 projects. We've seen only one case of a developer adding some visual flair to a standard control (by drawing canvas content next to the standard control) - the canvas provided no information that was not in the standard control already, and a screen reader would have had all the relevant a11y data.

Thanks

Subject: Reasons of using Canvas for UI design

Hello,

I am looking for some convincing reason that a developer use Canvas for designing interactive 

UI on web form instead of common designing web forms.

What's your opinion?

Best Regards
