The Anti-Hero of CSS Layout – “display:table” (2014)

I never understood why people think the "holy grail layout" is a sticky footer. Do they really have pages with so little content that it's an issue?

I have decided for me at least that a fixed footer and header is what I consider my "holy grail layout" with just a center with no columns. Lately I've been trying to play with css grid to port over my previous layouts, but without much luck so far.

The point of a footer is that it is at the bottom of the canvas regardless of the size of other content. If it is not at the bottom of the canvas, then you get something else at the bottom - like a colored box of unknown dimensions. Which means the footer is not the footer anymore.
