10 years from now:
The fundamental problem with CSS Grid is that it is two dimensional. This makes CSS Grid great for two dimensional uses, like aligning content both horizontally and vertically, but it begins to fail when I need to align content with the user's hand. Instead I need real three dimensional layout, which is why I need CSS Matrix. Fundamentally Matrix is 3D.

Rule priority at any point will be determined by relative field strength of the competing rules at that point.
