The grid model isn't great, but the masonry model is also not great. It has the word `column`, and you see columns – but it totally fails to describe how items flow into those columns. We already have a column layout that stacks items in columns. That's multicol. Here we get columns, but items flow across in a row (even if there's no explicit row track), before returning to the initial column (if ever). And the fact that we can span columns, means we can even make those rows explicit! Showing the slides to another developer, she immediately selected `item-flow: row` for waterfall as consistent with how grid works - and was surprised that we would consider something else. This is what I'm saying about intuition. Yes, some people will be confused – but that's true with all the proposals. No one (yet) has an answer that will match everyone's intuition. At which point, it seems to me like we're using the wrong metric. -- GitHub Notification of comment by mirisuzanne Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/12803#issuecomment-3437909443 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
