So <div> is outdated?

Question

Found some lessons that still use it, but here at SoloLearn i saw that its been replaced with <article>, <section>...

Answer 1

<div> </div>is never outdated.
i heavily depend on it to manipulate html page both using CSS and Javascript.

Answer 2

Not outdate, just you have new containers to describe more specifiquely the structure of your website. But you can't use new tag everywhere it would have no sens to write:
<footer>
<footer>
They are really there to globally define the main structure, not the specific inside them.

Answer 3

they are like containers. If you declare a class or an Id in the container and then you modify the container through the class name, you will modify all elements that are inside the container.

Answer 4

Need a new <div> legion?
Agus ever provide the baseline: div never outdate

Answer 5
