Grid vs Flexbox for a blog layout I was rebuilding last night

I rebuilt my personal blog layout in CSS Grid after years of using Flexbox and the alignment control feels way better, but I'm wondering if the extra markup and browser support headaches are actually worth it for something that worked fine before has anyone else switched back after trying Grid for a while?

flexbox is just easier dude. grid looks nice on paper but half the time i end up fighting it more than actually building stuff. if your blog was already working fine with flexbox, why break it just to be trendy? old tablet browsers are still a thing and they hate grid with a passion. i say stick with what actually works.

Oh man, I feel this. I spent a whole weekend converting my little recipe blog to Grid and then had to undo half of it because my phone's browser decided Grid was too complicated and just gave up on me. Classic me, overcomplicating a thing that was already working.

Bro i did the exact same thing with my travel diary site lol. Spent like 3 hours making this sleek grid layout and my old tablet just noped right out. Had to scrap the whole thing and go back to flexbox. Feels bad when you want to be fancy but browsers just aint ready.
