Flex seems more flexible to me than CSS Grid.

They are complementary technologies. CSS Grid really shines for doing the "full page layout" portion of websites. One really useful feature of CSS grid is that it composes really well with media queries, so you can create responsive websites really easily by just defining different grid area layouts for various screen sizes.

There's no mainstream browser that doesn't suck (ie, they're all walled gardens) that supports CSS grid. Plus the other 4 billion people on Earth not in modern countries.

IIRC, Safari, Edge, Firefox and Chrome all support CSS grid.

Curious as to why CSS Grid chose to start at 1-index rather than zero, and why the end column is one more than the position of the column that actually stops.

Maybe designers don't have a culture of counting from 0 like programmers do?

There are programmers who don’t count from zero. And even programmers who count from zero but don’t do so consistantly as soon as they implement even the simplest personal indexation.

Is it just me or does everyone just eventually resorts to "trying everything until it works" with CSS layout?

Any day :)

I'm stuck at level 21. This didn't work: grid-template-columns: repeat (8, 12.5%); Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug?

That's what worked for me when I did this a while ago.

Is there a way to enable unsigned extensions at all, say from about:config?

You can either use the developer build or compile Firefox yourself.

Extended Support Releases do still include the flag: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-on-signing-in-firef...

The walled garden I speak of is the implementation of add-ons cryptographically signed by Mozilla only. Unless you run one of the betas (w/bugs) you cannot use any add-on not approved by Mozilla. And lately they've even been removing/banning add-ons that aren't illegal but otherwise upset outside corporations (ie, the paywall bypasser that uses googlebot's http headers substituted in).

This makes me sad. Not because I don't like grid. But because two weeks ago I found out that a very senior person in the company has a computer running IE11, and will not let IT upgrade her machine.

She recently discovered that one of the company's web sites doesn't look right in IE11, and shit ran downhill into my lap. I checked the logs, and yep... she's the only IE11 machine to hit any of the web sites in a year.

I spent a day and a half downgrading the site from CSS grid to Flexbox only to discover that once I found an old machine in a closet that has IE11 on it that I could test with that IE11 doesn't fully support Flexbox, either!

Solution: Each building on campus has its own IP address. Connections from her building get a table version.
