#2I wonder when we'll get hexagonal lanes, triangular and Penrose tiling. Rest assured, there will be practically infinite set of features designers would invent. Language designers would do good takubg into account Scheme idea: language is good when there is nothing to remove.

But css is not a “programming language” it’s a negotiation between browser engineers (who need to keep things fast and responsive) and web devs (who need to implement a fashionable design that is still distinguising for their brand)

IIRC, there are no directions in CSS other than the block and inline axes.

I think the plan going forward is to allow people to implement their own CSS layout primitives using Houdini, but I haven't kept track of how it has evolved or progressed.

I think you don’t need new CSS features to put AI generated content in jumbotron.
I dislike the idea that CSS should be made more complex. Everyone is doing the same template with Jumbotron anyway.
Pick the colors, pick imagery and name for the brand - doing some magic with CSS will only piss off people.
Cookie cutter design is what I like. I can compare the companies when they all have the same template for a website.

The more features they add, the less likely a competitor can arise without investing a billion man-hours.

#8The left side of the first example picture looks to me like four columns laid out using a vertical flexbox each. In fact, it looks like the very example that I saw people using saying "Look how the flexbox layout on the left doesn't line up the text boxes, but on the right the text boxes are all neatly aligned, isn't that nicer?"
I realize that the difference is that the items are laid out horizontally, i.e. photos 1-2-3-4 are all across the top, whereas with vertical flexboxes items 1-2-3-4 would end up in the first column (or you'd have to rearrange your divs taking the flexbox layout into account, which is often impractical).
But the gain from CSS Grid Lanes is not immediately obvious from looking at the first photo, as it's so very similar to the old "left is flexbox, right is grid" examples from when Grid was new.

#9Here's the famous 2004 article on why tables are bad.[1] Cool people do everything with break and div. The CSS crowd then spent two decades re-inventing tables.

#10This seems kind of redundant. I would just use flexbox for something like this. Grid is already an extremely rare item for me. I only ever use it when I need to control the overall layout for an app that has to work on a wide range of viewports. I'd never use grid just because it can do clever brickwork.
