I still get folks replying angrily to https://jakearchibald.com/2014/dont-use-flexbox-for-page-layout/ …, but things haven't changed. Flexbox is content-driven. A progressive render can give you an unstable layout as boxes are discovered. Grid lets you define the layout up-front, so a progressive render can be stable.

The only thing that's changed is that grid support was bad in 2014 (it was only in IE, kinda). But now: https://caniuse.com/#feat=css-grid

Flexbox is great for one dimensional layouts that wrap. But for everything else, I'd only use flexbox if I *couldn't* do it in grid.

I dunno why folks get so angry about it. Grid & flexbox isn't like Oasis vs Blur where you have to devote to one and denounce the other.

they come to fight me about it too. Baffling. They are two values of the display property, does anyone get angry about any other two values of a CSS property?

I have written so many times about this, explained in so many talks, and still they come. "WHY SHOULD I LEARN GRID? I KNOW FLEXBOX AND IT RULES ALL". Me: You do you.

Some people are in denial. On the contrary, to promote both css grid and WC, we created a
