Thanks for the correction/deep dive here. I was a kid + don't have an official education in cs, so I mix up terminology and what things were called sometimes.
I remember when media queries came out. It was so nice. Amazing. 10/10 for the time. You can do a lot with auto-margins and other ancient CSS, but there are definitely quite a lot of limits. (Sighs in someone who does a lot of email design and academic CMS design... let's party like it's 1999...)
> There is also some advantage to making separate designs carefully crafted for a variety of screen shapes, that you give up with fluid design techniques.
I agree strongly with this from a UX/UI point of view and as an educator.
