2,026 PointsAre additional pseudo classes used often?
For those, who have worked with it for a while, are the additional pseudo classes used much or is it something that just good to have in mind now and then, but they aren't used on regular bases?

Courses Plus Student 44,108 PointsI wouldn't say they're used often, but when you need them, you really need them.
They're a part of the tool belt, so to speak, and it's a good idea to know them, and experiment with them, as that'll make it easier to recognise when and how to use them.
The thing is, most pseudo-classes we have available have been introduced in the CSS Level 3 specification, and people are still finding great new uses for them every day. You might find yourself needing them in certain scenarios more often than not.
Most of the time you'll be able to do without them, but sometimes, they'll serve as really useful shortcuts, and sometimes, they'll let you do things that wouldn't be possible without them.
