It certainly wasn't sold as "not about performance". Performance was blamed on things like floats in the past, and flexbox was supposed to solve the needs without sacrificing performance.
Now you're saying that CSS needs to be revamped. Great. Anyone working on that? Either way we're looking at, what, 5 years minimum before first browsers have this new thing that's really about performance this time, for real.

Performance was blamed on things like floats in the past, and flexbox was supposed to solve the needs without sacrificing performance. That's not true. Do a search for [flexbox floats performance] and you'll see that the goal was not to improve performance of floats. Floats are only a performance problem in parallel implementations, which nobody was talking about at the time flexbox was created. > Now you're saying that CSS needs to be revamped. Great. Anyone working on that? Gotta love HN snark. I work on that every day, 50+ hours a week. And I'm not saying revamp the specs. I'm saying revamp the implementation.
