In reply to Sainath SR. Floats do create weird problems if not handled well. But they have their own purposes. Flex layout was created mainly for responsiveness, whereas float is similar to the absolute position. I loved float when I started learning CSS and still do, but not as much as I did before :)

If there is only one thing I could pick from this list .
It would be FLEX INSTEAD OF FLOAT. As someone who learnt layouts using flex as a starting point , makes me cry : ( whenever I see float based layouts.Forces new devs to learn these concepts just for backward compatibility . floats and clear fixes have had their time .

Nice read, I like to include the point, using relative units like `em` and `rem`s for super flexibility and responsive,which adjust the element’s properties in relation to font-size.
