This was already a feature for flex box and grid. They’re just adding this to flow layout. Still a welcome addition but consider that all browsers that add support for this will already have support for flex and grid.
Yes, but imagine if you're new to CSS how unintuitive and annoying it is that you need to figure out what display modes mean and how they behave in order for a property like `align-content` to work as expected? That's a weird thing about css in my opinion.
The article already addresses this. The point is to have the feature exist without having to know about flexbox/grid (or history).
Learning flex box has great ROI for saving your time and sanity wrangling CSS.
Bizarre that a statement of fact is being voted down.
Didn’t downvote (can’t even downvote, wouldn’t anyway), but if I were to guess it’s that the article talks about it fairly extensively.
Yeah … but that's also what makes the title clickbait — that the article itself knows that what is written isn't true. "CSS makes vertical centering easier in 2024" or just "CSS makes vertical centering easier" would have been more honest, I think.
