I was using it just half a year ago, after either reading MDN or reading what AI suggested. Which means, this API is not obscure and not forgotten. Using `rows` and `cells` is very convenient for keyboard navigation across table cells.

- conception 1y agoThe worst thing on the modern web is people using divs for table data. What do you mean this table isn’t sortable? M365 Admin is the worst offender I’ve come across on this. Just terrible table implementations on almost every page.
- mr_toad 1y agoIs there a term for the opposite of cargo culting? Where everyone avoids something, but no one remembers why? Because that’s basically where HTML tables have ended up.
- embedding-shape 1y agoI think this is something like a "delayed cargo culting", or "cargo culting based on outdated facts". I think it's basically the same as the hypothesis from the "Monkey Ladder Experiment", where monkeys got punished when trying to get a banana, and eventually all the monkeys were replaced with monkeys that didn't realize why the banana was off-limits, yet persisted in trying to "help" other monkeys trying to prevent them from getting the banana. I'm not sure if I read that that specific experiment was debunked or not, but it certainly sounds familiar to how some developer trends get propagated even though the ground truth as changed.

- joquarky 1y agoI would guess that people became so afraid of being accused of using tables for layout that they don't use them at all.
