Conclusion

In this article we have seen CSS Grid in action and utilized it to redesign an existing float-based layout. Comparing these two solutions, we can see that the HTML and CSS code of the "grid" solution is smaller (not counting the fallbacks, of course), simpler and more expressive. With the help of the grid-template-areas property it is easy to understand how individual areas are laid out, and we may quickly reposition them or adjust their sizes. On top of that, we don't need to rely on various hacky tricks (like clearfix, for instance).

So, as you see, CSS Grid is a great alternative to floats, and it is production-ready. You may need to provide some fallback rules for Internet Explorer (that implements an older version of the specification), but as you see they are not very complex and in general the site is still usable even without any backwards compatibility at all.
