> Additional cognitive overhead. The grid-*/flex-* properties aren't going anywhere. They appear on the majority of websites at the moment. Additionally they are used outside of the web (for instance in [react native](https://reactnative.dev/docs/flexbox) as one example). All/most web developers will have to learn the existing properties simply as a result of their existing usage on the web platform (and beyond). If the item-*/flow-* properties appear, and start being used, its pure additional overhead for in the general case (as most things simply map back onto an existing property). In an ideal world maybe it would have been better to have a unified set of properties from the beginning, but this isn't the world we live in. In the long run it ends up better for web developers because future layout modes just get one unified set of properties rather than 5+ prefixes/set of names. -- GitHub Notification of comment by nt1m Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/12803#issuecomment-3524512476 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
