In my opinion, it is best that you learn both. Currently, flex box has some support issues as not all browsers correctly render those elements but that's not to say we aren't moving in that direction.

You can view which browsers support flex box by visiting caniuse.com and searching flexbox. This website shows you all browser support, which browsers require vendor prefixes and which are unsupported.

It's a great tool to have while developing. I hope this helps.

Personally for me, it depends on the project and if i need to support older browsers. If its just a small project for codepen or something then ill use flexbox but if support is required then I'll go with a grid layout. Both accomplish the same task but flexbox is growing into becoming the norm. That is why i suggest learning both.

I enjoy using flexbox, i can't wait til it works more predictably across browsers. Hopefully soon.
