A bit hyperbolic, no? Do you really find grid that hard to work with?

[Inviz]

And flexbox? Was floats with all those clearings easier? or inline blocks that made us reset whitespace between elements? Or akhem... tables?

Definitely hyperbole. Syntax is not nearly _the_ problem of CSS

Non intuitive syntax is a nogo.
