> I made a semantic flex grid many years ago, and the result was a lot more clean than using utilities your grid has zero media queries in it, which means whatever grid classes you were using before were not responsive - which is where 90% of the complexity lives. complex/nested responsive grids are not simple, unfortunately. i've made one, too: https://github.com/leeoniya/flecks https://github.com/leeoniya/flecks

> complex/nested responsive grids are not simple, unfortunately. How does utilities make complex/nested responsive grid simple, again? I'm arguing semantic css is simpler than using utilities all over the HTML, not that it magically makes responsive design easy. > your grid has zero media queries in it, which means whatever grid classes you were using before were not responsive - which is where 90% of the complexity lives. There are some in the examples [0][1]. Both for responsive design and nested grid, sadly not for both at the same time. It's not much more complex, though, well I guess it depends on how complex are we talking about. Anyway, CSS Grid makes semantic layout a lot simpler now.
