What is the advantage of creating the height of a section using padding as opposed to the height property. Sergie uses padding in the tutorials, and I used this in my first build, but from my experience building traditional websites I would normally set the height of a container using the height property. Maybe using padding is a more effective method but I’d be interested in hearing the pros and cons.
