CSS Grids are a game changer in my opinion.

Using some "grid-template-areas" + media queries is so cool... It gives you so much control over the layout!

I put together a fairly comprehensive video tutorial for those interested in learning CSS grid.

It's definitely a bit of a challenge to 're-think' layouts for those used to floats / css positioning / flex (like myself)

Yea, it's a pretty transformational layout paradigm for the web. The crazy thing is less than 1% of websites use it: https://twitter.com/ebidel/status/1034874571747291136?s=19
#1 reason I and likely most people don't use it: IE11's poor support.

Once IE dies or I have a job where I don't have to care about IE11 so much, then I'm all in.
