I've had the opposite experience. I haven't floated anything in years, and I'm constantly running into problems that I can quickly solve using simple combinations of flexbox, margin, and padding.

For the first year or so, I often had to look at this cheat sheet: (https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/, but now it all feels very intuitive.

The one exception is `align-items: stretch` never works how I expect it to, and I usually end up with a combination of `flex-basis 100%` or `max-width: some px value` with `width: 100%;`
