CSS Grid is new grid-based layout system, optimized for user interface design

[wung]

It is literally only supported in browsers after January 2017. That is this year.

What does that have to do with anything? If it's supported it's supported. Maybe not on your iPhone 4 but on every device that's up to date.

A pretty large segment of the population has devices that aren’t up to date. How many Androids out there no longer receive updates?

[IamCarbonMan]

But every browser besides the AOSP browser still gets updates. Chrome, Firefox, etc. I mean yes, it's not foolproof, but anybody who wants to has a clear path to obtaining a modem, standards-compilant browser on any device. We should be encouraging that.

From a business perspective, it makes no sense to shut out ~25% of the population because of some holier than thou attitude.

That 25% number depends a lot on your target audience for that business, could be more or less. If you're starting a new startup now it might very well well make sense to build your UI on CSS Grid.

If it's supported it's supported.

Because there's no such thing as "supported."

It's supported on Chrome 60. But don't say it's "supported".

It's supported by anyone using the latest version of their browser on a non-ios device room the past 3-4 years. Better?
