Discussion on: Making Responsive Layouts without using Media Queries

This is a nice flex refresher, but there's not a lot of practical examples here. I recently pushed a design live where I use both flex and grid and media queries are still needed in order to allow for different layouts based on screen size. I know you say here that media queries are still here, but I just wanted to point out that I don't see anyone really eliminating them either unless you're doing really basic layout stuff.

I see your point, and you're absolutely right. When designing we might feel like its not a tough nut but while the actual coding there might be a point where it can be frightening, to do everything without media queries. However, even if we're making a small section responsive without media queries (which was never possible in the past), I think that's worth it.
