I’m with Philippe: flexbox FTW. Been using it today again and it’s bloody terrific.

I will set aside some time next week to learn flexbox properly then!
Feel free to shoot Q’s if you need…
To be fair, I’m not (yet) advocating going with flex box for everything and its sister in the admin code immediately, there are however that could eventually benefit from it.

Re: Request for comment: dropping support for IE8/IE9
Just been testing flexbox, I think I could build out a grid layout option for the images panel fairly quickly with that. Maybe even in time for a 4.6 release. So in that case we would state IE10 as the minimum IE version we support.
If you can list each of the ui things that would benefit from flexbox I will let ok into them.
So far:
1. Image grid (kind of a card layout).
2. Form label and inputs side-by-side.
3. List navigation widget.
5. Search widget (the new proposed one?).
6. Layout columns.

That escalated quickly.

Nobody really uses ie9 anyway, so it wouldn’t be a great loss to not support it.

With my feature creep hat on, I’m rolling my eyes – but flexbox is the hotness, so I’m taking my hat off.

He he. Well it would be good to get the layout structure 100% watertight now since the layout has already changed significantly post-4.5, which will force plugin authors/theme authors some upgrade pain. Otherwise we might have to amend HTML/classnames again at 4.7 (something I’m keen to avoid).

I think this is a great step forward. And because it is limited to the backend, it’s justifiable request at least IE10 or other modern browser (there are enough).

According to the graph I shared no one uses ie10 either…Anyone using Windows 7 or later has access to ie11.

True, but IE10 supports flexbox (via prefixing) so I don’t have to go out of my way to support that browser.
