thanks for sharing the experience and thoughts behind it.

I just went thru a similar page redesign and your layout experience resonate with mine. totally agree flex is probably the most overkilling choice here.

I end up not go with grid but old pal float in 3 col view, mainly bc my use case is not typical [L, M, R] -> [L, M/R] -> [L/M/R] layout pattern, but more complex [L1/L2, M, R1/R2] -> [L1/R1/L2/M/R2], and the variable height of each part make the height attribute very difficult to manage in 3 col view.
