CSS Grid vs Flexbox – Which is Easier to Use?

Both CSS Grid and Flexbox are powerful layout tools, but they shine in different areas.
Flexbox is easier for one-dimensional layouts — arranging items in a single row or column. It's ideal for nav bars, buttons, and small UI elements. It’s quick, intuitive, and adapts easily to content size.
CSS Grid is better for two-dimensional layouts — organizing items in rows and columns. It gives you full control over complex page structures but has a slightly steeper learning curve.
🔹 Flexbox = quick, flexible component layouts
🔹 Grid = structured, full-page layouts
👉 Use Flexbox for simplicity and small sections.
👉 Use Grid when you need precision across both axes.
