But is that always true? I have here an older Sony Xperia phone - very popular 
here in Jpn that appears to support flex-wrap (OK, via the shorthand - 
`flex-flow: row wrap;`) just fine. According to my son, who got the device for 
free and set it up (have to leave all those complicated things to the younger 
generation…), it runs the default system + browser (and that thing can’t seem 
to access the G.playstore and even less the Docomo system server). Thing is old 
enough not to run Android 4.4.

Right, flexbox is pretty good for that kind of things, and more human readable 
than the next layout thing some people are excited about (grid layout). And 
support is good enough across the board to use it extensively (IE8 is the big 
head-ache nowadays).

PS - working with inline-block for that grid layout you use in this thread:
        .wrap { font-size: 0rem; font-family: monospace }
        .wrap > .kid { display: inline-block; font-size: 1rem /*to taste*/; 
font-family: /*whatever*/, sans-serif; box-sizing: border-box; width: xxx%; 
vertical-align: top; }

works pretty well for me. Need a bit of hacking for IE 8 though.
