Yes. If I'm interpreting OP correctly, the single answer to the question is flex. It can seem like a weird API (I STILL to this day have to look up certain things), but once you get used to it it is GREAT.

Also, if you're using styled-components (which I recommend), use styled-flex-component for layout and things get even better. It's such a breeze, it makes even complicated layouts so simple and fast to put together.

I migrated to CSS grids as soon as I could but find a lot of people still lean on flexbox. Is that just preference, older browser support ...? Are there things you can't do in grid?

The two occupy a venn diagram of functionality. They do some stuff the same, but they also both do unique things the other doesnt. See this for a good rundown: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hs3piaN4b5I
