Do you need 32 or more column grid?

Question

Do you need 32 or more column grid?

I myself am not a supporter of the nets. But I want to ease adaptiv. As almost all the sites which I typeset not fit mesh nudge in the butt, I was thinking maybe to create yourself a grid to flexbox only, not 12 or 16 columns and 32 and more that you could precisely trim layout. A grid to make their own unique classes and sizes of columns.

What do you think? What I miss a lot of columns will not affect performance.

Stop it already torturing myself with these calculations, use susydocs.oddbird.net and create at least 50 different layout available.

Not split or mesh on a large number of columns, it does not help. To manage such a grid will be hard, but still come across sites that it does not lie.

I made a generator flexbox grids on LESS: for each project I can generate meshes with different number of columns, hutterli different widths and different media breakpoints. Everything is customizable with 5 variables. By default my grid is trying to be like bootstraps 12 column, as the most familiar. But some of the chips I pulled from the grid, Zurb Foundation 6.

Besides, flexbox is so flexible that speakers can divide the width automatically.

You can mix columns with explicit width (fixed or percentage) and autovaruosade column. Ie website design is not required to be aligned strictly along vertical guides, as with float-nets.
Flexbox-grid can be adapted to almost any design, adding a little custom code.
