            there are more aggressive css “resets” that set the default display type to flex. there’s no problem making anything a flexbox if it displays the way you want it to

            Not sure what best practice is broadly, but in general display: flex is the first tool I reach for if I need to position child elements a little more carefully.

            It’s good for most things more complex than just margin/padding/text-align. If it gets too complex for flexbox, dig into CSS grid.

        I would suggest poking around on that page to find what you’re looking for. It has a decent search function.
