Flex box and Grid only help in creating layouts. It doesn't help anything with regards to reactivity, which is what most web UIs can lack compared to a desktop application.
IMO Flexbox and Grid only remove the need to have a stylesheet dedicated to layout like Bootstrap and foundation. That may be important for building tiny sites with no dependencies, but for an application, there will usually be a bunch of npm cruft required anyway. Having a bootstrap.min.css in the mix doesn't really impact my quality of life.
