Grid layout and positioning are similar in that that both allow for precise positioning of content.  The difference is the position on the grid is determined by referencing grid lines instead of defining a distance from the origin.

Abspos *does* cause data loss if you try and use it for layout without
some well-written JS.  That's why abspos sucks.  Grid is a lot better
because it lets elements affect each other's alignment, respond to
available space, etc.  Don't try and use abspos behavior as a defense
for Grid behavior.  ^_^
