Hi everyone,
I really enjoy working with the more recent features like calc(), flexbox etc... Now as browser support isn't always given to 100%, what do you think are good values when looking at browser support?
Above 90% in general? Or should it be 95%?
Thanks for your thoughts!

I look at the support for the different versions of each browser more than I look at the overall %. You can use analytics to get a good idea of the kind of devices and browser versions your audience is using.
Is your site geared towards web designers or tech savvy people? - They likely have the most recent versions of their browsers so newer features should be fine to use.
Is it for a large corporation with lots of different users/devices? - They tend to have lots of outdated technology, PC's running Windows XP and IE6 for example. Here you need to be careful about what features you use - graceful degradation / progressive enhancement is the key here.
Hope this helps :)
