Why use space- over gap-?

[nichtsam]

I see a lot there are a lot of usage of tailwind utility className space- in flexBoxes.
since it's already in a flexBox, I'm just curious why not use gap-?
In my opinion, it does the same thing, and makes it easier to understand the styling when checking through devTools.
is it about consistency?

I feel like gap is probably the best choice when using flex or grid because, in some cases, space can disrupt the UI due to its reliance on margins.

yeah me too.
I've change all the space into gap in my ui code, it feels more intuitive to me this way.
