[css] Order suggested CSS properties based on usage not alphabetically

[mohsen1]

For example: for b the first suggested property is backface-visibility: which is rarely used compared to background:

To find the most popular CSS properties we ca use GitHub data on Google Big Query. For example:

SELECT
  COUNT(path), content
FROM [bigquery-public-data:github_repos.files] files
JOIN [bigquery-public-data:github_repos.contents] contents 
  ON contents.id = files.id
WHERE
  path LIKE '%.css'
  OR path LIKE '%.scss'
  OR path LIKE '%.less'
  OR path LIKE '%.sass'
AND content CONTAINS 'background-color'

Where can I find a table of all CSS properties so I can build the popularity table based on GitHub data?

You find the table in https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-css-languageservice/blob/master/src/data/browsers.js

+1 I came here to ask for the same thing. There are some selectors which really are never used and should never be pushed to the top of the auto-suggest. For example, if you type "wid", the first suggestion is "widows", a property I didn't even know existed until VS Code tried to autocomplete it for me.

Same here. I usually type 'wid' and press enter expecting to get 'width', but it prints 'widows'.

I have nothing against widows but would be nice to have width first, because we use it all the time

There's a big discussion thread about this on reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/comments/c6pfay/the_most_stupid_autocompletion_in_the_entire_world/

Chrome publishes its stats: https://www.chromestatus.com/metrics/css/popularity

We could its ordering to assign a ranking order to CSS properties.
