We decided to debunk the myths around Flexbox & Grids in order to show you the power of these two technologies working together.
It took more than six years to have CSS Grids implemented across all browsers. Throughout its history, the spec has always been surrounded by controversy. In 2011, it was met with skepticism as the Microsoft Developer Team announced prefixed support for IE10. The lack of information about the W3C proposal made some developers wonder whether there was an actual need for another layout system, since we already had floats, tables, and some Flexbox working in browsers back then.
However, thanks to the effort of developers and CSS Working Group members such as Rachel Andrew and Jen S
immons, the Grids hype started to grow and, with that, the behind-flag and nightly implementations.
As of March 2017, Grids has been implemented in every major browser, but there are still a few myths and rumors surrounding the specification. The purpose of this piece is to tackle down those myths and enjoy developing our websites with this new technique we use at Aerolab, called Frids-layout.
