After playing with this, it isn't replacing grid areas but adding a new "waterfall" or "brick" masonry type of layout that wasn't really available with grid before.

I love WordPress, but I am constantly wondering who wants to write their CSS in a json file? I use a separate style.css and wonder if I should ONLY have color, font size, and spacing tokens in there as opposed to even some style setting defaults like post title sizes. I'm curious what others do.

When I resize the browser, I'm managing space. When I zoom in, I'm trying to re-size text. Those are very different goals, but look identical in CSS. Using vw or at-media: bigger px == fewer px. If we mess with font-size for one, it applies to both: codepen.io/miriamsuzann...
