What would "abandoning" CSS even mean? Going back to table layouts? (Oh good lord no.) Anyways, CSS is fine. The problem space is complicated.

- lmm 1y ago> Going back to table layouts? Nested tables and inline styling yeah. It works better. It's always worked better, unless you're handwriting your HTML, and virtually no-one does that anymore.

- maxbond 1y agoYou should check out Flexbox and Grid. They're fantastic and aren't as brittle as table layouts (eg you can reflow things on mobile rather than having a big horizontal scroll bar). There is some complexity but the dev tools help a lot. https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/ https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/ https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/complete-guide-grid/ https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/complete-guide-grid/ As an aside, hand-rolling HTML templates is still pretty common (such as for SSG themes), which is substantially similar to hand-rolling HTML. You just get `if` and `for` and a couple other primitives.
