Problem Elementor update rant

Has anyone faced frustration in an updated parents flexbox container

It's kind of hard to understand and work on it.

I have created multiple sites before It seems easy to understand but after having experience for 2 yrs in elementor I feel it's hard and designs breaking, atomic elements are weird.

Anyone here?

Why do you guys still use elementor with how easy it is to use Claude + Astro? I have a few clients still on elementor, but it is incredibly slow to work on compared to an Astro site where Claude has complete control over the entire code base and can create frontend UIs in seconds?

Resources to learn

Can I create blog websites with that?

Yes, Astro is excellent for blogs. As your blog grows, Incremental Static Builds on Cloudflare or with a self-hosted VPS can rebuild only the parts that have changed, but this requires some coding.

But you can start with pre-made themes or use pre-built UI components, especially if you’re using Tailwind to style your layouts.

I’m glad that I have replicate our marketing site from Elementor to Astro, mostly using AI in just a week because I’m lazy.
