CSS elite: cover your ears

Overheard on Evil Avatar (can’t link directly to the thread because it’s in the subscribers section):

Christ, I think the motto for CSS should be “maybe I should just use a table”.

I would counter the man’s argument with a list of all the benefits CSS provides, if it weren’t for the fact that even a card-carrying CSS evangelist like me has uttered this very phrase at least once in pretty much every web design project I have ever undertaken.

Sad, but true.
