to the QNot only can you create layouts that previously wasn’t possible without introducing JavaScript, but your code will be easier to maintain and understand. Swapping out Bootstrap with CSS Grid will make your HTML cleaner. While this isn’t the most important benefit, it’s likely the first one you’ll notice.
Flexbox is made for one-dimensional layout and Grid is made for two-dimensional layouts. This means that if you’re laying out items in one direction (for example three buttons inside a header), then you should use Flexbox. It’ll give you more flexibility than CSS Grid. It’ll also be easier to maintain and require less code. However, if you’re going to create an entire layout in two dimensions — with both rows and columns — then you should use CSS Grid. Depending on your use-case, one might be more preferable than the other.
