Grid vs Flexbox for magazine layouts - Grid wins every time

I spent 3 hours fighting Flexbox to make a two-column magazine spread and switched to Grid in 20 minutes. Has anyone else found Grid just makes more sense for actual layout work?

Honestly, Grid just works. Flexbox is for tiny stuff.

45 minutes on a 3-column layout? Man, I'd have snapped my laptop in half after 15. Flexbox is good for centering a button or a nav bar, but Grid just makes sense for any kind of page structure. I don't miss those hours of tweaking margins and praying it works.

I spent 45 minutes once trying to get Flexbox to do a simple 3-column layout and nearly threw my laptop... Grid is just easier for that stuff.
