+ **Interoperability**: features can be utilized together for a cohesive experience.
+ **Progressive enhancement**: Isotope's [animation engine](animating.html) takes advantage of CSS transitions and transforms when available, but will also fall back to Javascript animation for lesser browsers.

## A word about moderation
Isotope enables a wealth of functionality. But just because you can take advantage of its numerous features together, doesn't mean you necessarily should. For each each feature you implement with Isotope, consider the benefit you extend to your users, at the cost of another level of complexity to your interface.
