I used to do web dev during the tables-as-layout days. I don’t miss them a little bit. For one, Netscape wouldn’t render anything if the table tag wasn’t closed, and still nothing regardless until it did hit the end tag. And that’s to say nothing of the dodgy layout quirks they had. No thanks.

They work now though. Do you remember all the CSS hacks? All those pages are broken today. I'm not saying it's better, I'm just saying that I have a lot of regrets about jumping too hard on the bandwagon with a lack of critical thinking, and if I'm honest, evangelism.
