Secretly, I'm not that happy with flexbox. I think it's more intuitive in some cases, but I don't think it's more intuitive than floats and the like.

For example, I always feel like I want a `justify-self` property like `align-self`, but instead I must use `margin: auto` on the opposite side—in a flex row of elements, if I want the last one to be right aligned while the rest are hanging out in the center, I have to tell that last element to be `margin-left: auto`.

I think it's just an issue that it has taken so long to be useable (IEs :( ), there has been a lot of hype, and it's not quite the panacea I imagined it would be.

I agree that flexbox isn't particularly intuitive. I visit the "Complete Guide to Flexbox" at least a few times a day.

The real strength is how little of it you have to write. The most complex layouts I have only take a few lines of flex and they're way more responsive than their non-flex counterparts.
