Obviously your course of digital circuitry was short on teaching the history of digital circuitry. The first flip-flop was using tubes, and the computers in Blatchley Park were tube-based.
But if you really look at the element-based schematics you will see that a transistor and tube flops or multivibrators are very much the same.
The single difference is the size (and, of course, the size dictates the speed).
