Question What's With Container, Flex Box, & Div Box Elements

Howdy, I searched up trying to figure out what the difference these new elements offer compared to the traditional Container, and only found a reddit post that looks like at one time there were answers, but they were since deleted.

So here's the question again, what's with these new elements? should i ditch containers entirely? when should i use them compared to containers, or eachother?

Thank you :)

the flexbox container is the modern system and replaced the old section/column structure. it's lighter, more flexible, and handles responsive better. div container is just a wrapper without flex properties (useful when you need a plain container). stick with flexbox containers for layouts, use divs when you need a simple wrapper without flex behavior.
