Are floats still relevant?

With flexbox and grid are floats still used? I struggled learning this back in my joke of a school. But this actually made it a lot more clear.

brandon supinski while you may still find uses for float, grid and flexbox as you mentioned can solve many of the same problems and can be used in place of float. I'm glad this made it more clear, thanks for taking the time to share this feedback!
