This is true, in a way.
Tables were great in that they were a solid grid system, and a responsive one ( if you didn't try too hard to make them break your layout ).
But tables are for displaying tabular data, and they have some unwanted fat (th elements and the like) in regard to using them for a layout.
Now we are at grid systems. So much better!
But what we really want is native CSS support for complex layouts ( maybe in a couple of years... )

- trumbitta2 13y agoExactly. Now it's browser vendors turn :)
- baby 13y agoWhat is that sorcery! Why are we not using this instead of grid systems?
