I guess you never worked on a ‘business’ application (as opposed to ‘social’ app, or a ‘game’)?
For example, let’s look at the screenshots below from a typical line-of-business app (AWS console). How do you think the UI should look like, without using tables?

- hawleyal 12y agoI work on many business applications. I find developers make tables as a first recourse because they are easy and don't require thoughtful design of the most usable way to view and interact with data. Edit: Also the example you showed me is definitely not tabular data, as each column cannot be tabulated to a sum or other aggregate. It would most likely be much more semantic to make it a list.
