Until then, display: table kept everyone calm.

No, dealing with tables was like trying to build a house out of tempered glass.

With css grid, I can tell each element which area or column+row to occupy.

If I add or remove a random element, the rest of the elements stay in the correct place.

But do that with a table and you end up trying to glue your house back together shard by shard whilst trying not to cut yourself or breaking things more.
