IE11 doesn't have full support, so unless you're lucky enough to be able to ignore IE, you have to resort to jacks and workarounds to use grid. At which point it's generally easier just to use flexbox.

Grid will be awesome very soon.

IE (all versions) is estimated to account for less than 6% of users, these days. It’s so small it’s basically “exotic browser” territory.

I think the argument these days should be “do X unless you’re unfortunate enough to care about IE”.

I've yet to work on a product that didn't care about IE. I look forward to that day more than I look forward to the return of the Messiah.

6% is still quite a lot! IE6 and IE8 were both still widely supported until they had <1% narket share. Firefox at 8% doesn't have much more than that.
