       | Nowadays I find myself more comfortable using flexbox and grids

       | dismay, using the `top:50%;left:50%;translate(-50%,-50%)` hack. I
       | find inline elements less reliable and less 'knowable',
       | especially in responsive layouts. I think I only end up using
       | vertical-align in incredibly narrow use-cases. Though curious to
       | hear other peoples' experiences.
