What's missing in CSS layout

A detailed analysis of CSS layout pain points and missing features, drawn from the 2025 State of CSS survey and a personal social media mini-survey. Covers developer struggles with CSS Grid (complex syntax, mental models, missing wrapping/animation features) and Flexbox (sizing unpredictability, wrap detection, alignment confusion). Also lists the most-requested missing CSS layout capabilities, topped by overflow/wrap detection, CSS Regions for flowing content across elements, CSS Exclusions for non-rectangular text wrapping, and DOM-independent element repositioning. The author concludes that overflow and wrapping detection would have the highest impact if addressed first.
