I thought the same thing when reading this. I started learning flexbox late last year by building my Ghost themes with it. I love it so far. Can't wait to explore more and more complex uses for it.
Nothing is easy with flexbox. Between the three major changes in the spec, and every browser implementing the random parts from each spec they want, it's surprising that anybody can get anything accomplished with flexbox. That said, it is incredibly powerful, and will be great when everyone can get on the same page.
Not to mention there are (were?) some serious performance related issues.
This is true but the compatibility with browsers is way lower!

Moving forward, flexbox is making a lot of these classic CSS gotchas easy to solve. Also, the syntax is as clean. Checkout this article for a good example.
