Is it just me or does anyone else find Clearfix in CSS to be a total headache? I mean, do we really need all these hacks just to make our layouts work? Cant we simplify this already?

Clearfix in CSS can be frustrating, but its a necessary evil for cross-browser compatibility. Simplifying it may not be as straightforward as wed like. Keep pushing through!

Why complicate CSS with Clearfix when we could just switch to a different layout method altogether? Flexbox or Grid could be the future! Lets not get stuck in outdated techniques.

Clearfix may be an old trick, but it still has its place in certain scenarios. Flexbox and Grid are great, but sometimes a simple clearfix is all you need. Variety is the spice of web development!

Using clearfix is still necessary in some cases where flexbox or grid alone may not provide the desired layout. Its not about being outdated, its about using the right tool for the job. Mix and match for optimal results.

This article on Clearfix in CSS is great, but why do we even need to bother with it? Cant we just stick to using flexbox or grid layout for all our alignment needs? Seems like Clearfix is becoming obsolete.
