@wat: Wow, that really unnerved you, huh!

Two points, if it is even worth commenting:
“Learn how to use tables” — I think that’s the point we often make: we learn to use tables for tabular data, CSS for laying out stuff. We’ve all learned the various table tricks and are fed up of them.

“Does’t work for the most popular browser” — actually a lot of CSS does work for IE (whether it is the most *popular* is hard to know because it is the mostly widely installed by default, not necessarily by choice )

It’s good that you’re asking questions to the many complaints, and looking at the case at both sides.

Good images, and many sources & links. Added to favorites.
