What's the difference between using transform and the other ones in CSS3?

Question

I am really confused whether using transform or the other properties that seem to behave in the same way have any difference, could you guys clarify that for me? Thanks

Answer 1

Can you specify what other properties are ?
If you're talking about top left position vs transform you'll need to do some test and a data for each browser, because it seems their result are same

Answer 2

Sorry i was not specific enough, so what i wanted to say is using transform: translate() and using position:relative to change the positioning of an element

Answer 3

Yeah its same, the problem could lies in peformance but i dont think there's a significant difference
