Is anyone else working with the flex box display technique?

If so have you guys found and serious problems with it? Like it? I just made this with it: [url]http://www.adrianhoulewebprojects.com/experimental/CRMSdemo.php[/url]

It took me a couple tries, as I kept trying to set % widths and stuff, not really understanding the whole idea behind it. I am now starting to get it I think. The css is pretty messy because I had to write 4 lines for each flex selector, one for each variant of browser support out there. I found it was easier to start with the content place holders, and actually style my way from the inner most divs to the outer container. That way i did not have to set any container sizes, there was already something for them to conform around. I originally wanted the navbar to be fixed but made the mistake of trying to implement it too late and realised I would have to change everything sense fixed elements do not take up space, so I just left it as is with the lesson learned.

But despite its issues, dam does it look good when you zoom in and out.

I used Chris Coyier's guide: [url]http://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/[/url]
This to play around with cause and effect: [url]http://the-echoplex.net/flexyboxes/[/url]
And this guys guide to help me with browser compatibility: [url]http://designkarma.co.uk/blog/using-flexbox-now[/url]

I did not bother making backup style for unsupported browsers, as I won't be using this website for anything. I only used javascript/jquery framework for the slidder in the mobile version, as well as for some testing data. The collapse event and element re-ordering is done entirely with flexbox.

I really like it, so far I've only used it in an XSLT though.
