Does Flexbox...

Right now, flexbox is my method of choice when it comes to building site layouts. It's incredibly simple to understand and to work with, it's very malleable, it can do things that are just impossible for traditional methods (floats, inline-blocks, etc.), and all of that with a third of the rules and none of the potential layout breakdowns.

Literally, when I watched the first Treehouse flexbox video and saw Guil set up a flexbox navigation with one CSS declaration, it blew my mind. Ever since then, it's been my favorite CSS tool, even more so than transforms, transitions, and animations. I think that flexbox is the best thing to have hit CSS layout ever, even more important than the grid systems.

But I digress. I'm not sure if flexbox is a method. I think that it's more of a tool. An example: being dissatisfied with the various CSS frameworks out there, I've decided to develop my own to solve some common issues I run into. Through the power of Modernizr, my grid system uses flexbox for layout and falls back to floats and clearfixes if the browser (cough cough, IE) doesn't support flexbox. So right there, you see flexbox and grids working together. And flexbox is handling the grid system better than floats ever have.

TL;DR: Flexbox is a tool; grids are a system or a method. I've built a grid with flexbox, and it's awesome. Flexbox can be used for just about anything; that's why it's called flexbox.
