I've had the exact opposite reaction, grid is a godsend. Grid fills a very specific role that flexbox cant: two-dimensional layout. Continue to use flexbox when you only need to control things in a single dimension, but once you need to control both dimensions grid makes things so much easier.

I think grid is something graphic designers and typographers really drove. Grid layout is essentially a modernist typographic convention. Once you know it, it becomes completely logical.

As someone who's always been using InDesign and other graphic design layout principles, CSS grid is pretty much the first time CSS layout and positioning makes sense to me.
