Grid vs flexbox is one of the most common decision points we see. Here is the honest breakdown.
The short version#
Grid rules two dimensions; flex rules one. Pages use grid; components use flex.
Point by point#
| Aspect | Analysis |
|---|---|
| Dimensionality | Grid: rows AND columns; flex: one axis at a time |
| Content vs layout | Flex sizes to content; grid imposes structure |
| Alignment | Both support justify/align; grid adds track-level control |
| Composition | Page shells in grid, navbars/cards in flex |
