I think you're confused. We use tables for tabulated data.

CSS gardens was created specifically to stop people from using tables for layout.

There’s plenty of comments in this discussion from developers saying they specifically don’t use <table> even for tabulated data.
I've never met a professional frontend developer who does that.

CSS Zen Gardens is from around 2006.

Yet there are comments here advocating that. I’m not saying it’s typical, I’m just saying why it’s dumb.

I know when Zen Gardens was released. That fuck all to do with the discussion though.

And can you please limit your replies to one thread rather than spamming the same comments on multiple threads.

The discussion is actually _about_ Zen Gardens.

You chime in with a point that's not actually related to what I was talking about.

I let you know.

You get annoyed.

I think you need to simmer down.

I’m not annoyed. Just confused by the fact that you seem unable to grasp how to use a threaded forum.
