CSS gap is NOT a replacement for margins

Описание к видео CSS gap is NOT a replacement for margins

I’ve seen some people completely abandoning margins and turning to using gap for everything, and to me, that’s problematic. Don’t get me wrong, gap is an absolute lifesaver, especially when it comes to spacing out components. What it’s not best for, however, is spacing out regular flow content like text.

So, this isn’t to say that you should never use gap; it’s simply to say, use it for what it’s good at.
