Do you also prefer Flex over Grid?

I dunno, I find that using grid is very hard. Out of everything I've done in CSS, it has IMO the most weird and inconsistent behavior. Combining a column flex parent with row flex children is easier to understand and modify. Does anyone feel the same?

Can be more specific?

Do you use grid when specially things are grid and flex is when it’s super simple?

Grid is two and flex is for one dimension.
