We don't use CSS Grid, 40% of our users don't support it in their browser. Judging by the five hours this post has been up, I feel like a lot of Hacker News doesn't use it either.
However, when support for it does go up, we're definitely migrating to it. It seems to have a really nice syntax.
I don't see why would anybody would need to migrate anything to grids. It would be more, use where appropriate. In my case, flexbox fixes more of my problems with css. CSS grids will be a nice addition but that's all.
The fact that the folks in charge of CSS cooked up flexbox and then immediately came out with grids just drives me crazy. (Yes I know there are differences, but they both aim to solve similar layout challenges).
I'm torn; on one hand having a shitty godawful CSS spec is good for job security, but it's an absolute mess and it really doesn't have to be.
I've had a couple designs now that essentially started as grid protypes and then converted to flexbox because for the time being flexbox seems a better compromise than the current JS-based grid polyfills.
But yeah, never said I had a good sense of visual design. It does work reasonably well for the target demographic, though (baby boomers and older for the most part), and at least there ain't any <marquee> or <blink> tags.
