They re a design concept from print publishing they re meant to provide whitespace between columns making the content easier to read.
Flex gutter css.
I agree maybe the industry doesn t need the big libs as much for this.
My only issue with justify content.
The flexbox layout flexible box module a w3c candidate recommendation as of october 2017 aims at providing a more efficient way to lay out align and distribute space among items in a container even when their size is unknown and or dynamic thus the word flex.
1 unless i m missing something also with the based widths to draw in space for the gutters will create unpredictable gutter widths.
Gutters have absolutely nothing to do with css per se.

Thanks for this chris.
Flexbox gutters and negative margins mostly solved one of the key advantages of css grid over flexbox is that grid came with the grid gapproperty which is now becoming just gapin future browser implementations.
Now specified in box alignment it may be used in multi column flexible box and grid layouts.
The main idea behind the flex layout is to give the container the ability to alter its items width height and order.
Thanks for the replay but it doesn t seem flex compliance you use width instead of flex basis and what happens if i want to change the ratio for instance to 33 333.
Control the vertical alignment of gathered flex items with the align content classes.
Space between for this type of abstraction is that it requires an actual width to work instead of doing something like flex.
The column gap css property sets the size of the gap gutter between an element s columns.
In my pen below i have a row with display flex and i want it to wrap so i used flex wrap wrap that all works fine but when i set a width of 25 to all of the columns i have to set a max width of a calc 25 25px.
Css grid layout initially defined the grid column gap property.
Just set the same width in pixels to each column.
These classes have no effect on single rows of flex items.
Columns without gutters are very easy to calculate.
Valid classes are align content start default align content end align content center align content between align content around and align content stretch.
