No strong opinion, but at the very lest this is wrong: > In natural language, "when" is used for something that hasn't happened yet, whereas if is more synchronous. For instance, as in `When she arrived, everyone greeted her`. The word "when" does not imply timing per se, the sentence (+tense) does. > It goes against conditional naming in almost every structured language. I think this is a stronger point. ------ As a rule of thumb though, I don't like `@if` for media queries because these things are transient and can turn on or off at any point, so `@when` is more indicative of that transient nature. That said, there are other things which are not transient in nature like `supports()` so in in the end I don't feel that strongly. -- GitHub Notification of comment by FremyCompany Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/6684#issuecomment-941622082 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
