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.…

Flex seems more flexible to me than CSS Grid.

Flex seems more flexible to me than CSS Grid

It's not an either/or proposition.

I sometimes use both at the same time, depending on the project. Usually it's Grid for the big picture container layout stuff, and then Flexbox for laying out each individual portion.

I'll be happy when another 15% of my visitors upgrade to better browsers so I can use grid on my biggest project. Right now Flexbox fails with orphan elements, even when using margin: auto;, but this would be a perfect place to use Grid.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

"Walled garden" in what sense?

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).

Your definition of walled garden is pretty broad and includes all major browsers.

start counting at 1 instead of zero, ok, its valid.

column-end means really "end+1", why?

problem: when you go from left-to-right: column-start-3,column-end-5: means column #3 is included

when you go from right-to-left: column-start-3,column-end-1: means column #3 is NOT included

So if you read "column-start-3" you don't know if column#3 is included or not, it depends on column-end.

"column-start-3,column-end-5" should include column 3, 4 AND 5

This is from level 10:

>For example, grid-column: 2 / 4; will set the grid item to start on the 2nd vertical grid line and end on the 4th grid line.

What's the correct interpretation of "start on 2nd and end on the 4th"? shouldn't the 4th be included?

Maybe displaying it in table Layout for all IE11 users would be a better solution.

The solution there is to document every moment of your time spent on this issue, alongside the user agent logs, and present that alongside your salary, and present it.

Best case, they decide they pay you too much and you cause too much trouble, and let you go.

Worst case they make her upgrade her browser so they're not dumping mountains of money on her preferences and whims.

Either way, I'd be good with it if I were in that position.
