The strangest phenomenon I have encountered when using Flexbox and Grid in CSS is a nagging sense of guilt. Through two decades of web development, my brain has so absorbed the idea that easy CSS layout is only possible through non-standard, browser-specific CSS or "wrong" things like table-based layout that it just won't accept that it's no longer the case. It's like when you leave school, but for years you still have dreams you're late for class.
- methyl 9y agoHow CSS Grid is non standard? It's defined by W3C: https://www.w3.org/TR/css-grid-1/ https://www.w3.org/TR/css-grid-1/
- yosamino 9y agoYou misunderstood. They meant that CSS Grid is easy and that for many years things that have been Standards Compliant weren't easy, so it's a bit of a hurdle to let go of the "if it's easy, then it's probably a non-standard workaround"-mindset.
- sizzle 9y agoI have this recurring dream that I'm late for a final exam. Long term memory can be evil sometimes.
- superkuh 9y agoI can justify your guilt. There are still many browsers and many users using them that do not support CSS Grid. It's a cutting edge feature. Please don't force us to mobile sites (I'm looking at you Mozilla/FF extension site) or just fail to have a fallback entirely.
