- Gare 3y agoGrid is much more powerful than the table.

- just-tom 3y agoMaking the table responsive while there are hardcoded html tags would be hell compared to media queries in css (grid). In the early days, all you needed is one layout, and seeing the structure of your html tags was intuitive. Today, you use "table" tags for mainly tables and css for layouts. Separate of concerns?
