I have never seen anyone arguing <table> was not OK for tabular data. I thought this was a myth on level of teenagers eating tide pods.

- strenholme 6y agoThose kinds of discussions have dropped off of the Internet over the last decade and a half, being hosted at places like the now defunct original Digg website. It was an era when one could said something really stupid online and it would become mercifully forgotten. What I have found is a 2014 blog posting where another web designer from that era says “the early anti-HTML table movement was strong. It managed to brainwash many generation of developers into thinking that any usage of table is evil. [...] I am one of those developers who avoided table layout, even for displaying tabular data.” Reference: https://colintoh.com/blog/display-table-anti-hero https://colintoh.com/blog/display-table-anti-hero
