That’s a good example of a basic grid layout. The critical part is this: grid-template-areas: 'header header header header header header' 'menu main main main right right' 'menu footer footer footer footer footer'; As you can, see it’s a visual map of the layout, dividing the area up into a 6x3 grid, specifying which element occupies each position in the grid. Crucially, the spec detects adjacent areas and merges them together, so the result looks like this: The problem is that in order to add a new menu on the right, I’d have to modify the grid-template-areas to redraw the grid with a seventh column. There’s only one copy of the grid template, so two plugins both trying to add a menu bar would fight for which of them gets to specify the grid template. It’s because the CSS grid layout system is pretty brutal: it doesn’t flow or adapt, it’s just a modernised version of the old trick of using tables for layout. In contrast, CSS flexbox works by specifying constraints for the layout, and letting the browser engine resolve those constraints to determine the final layout. So we can keep adding menu bars and the layout just adapts fluidly.
