I still love tables. They are so awesome for dynamic design. The support column and row spans, alignment, weights.

And CSS is still way more complicated than good old tables.

That's because Tables actually map to how digital imaging works: dividing an area into little squares and deciding what to show in it. The screen does it, the driver does it, the window manager does it, the desktop primitives do it... and then you get to the browser screen, and suddenly you have to figure out a byzantine system of self-mutating shapes.

I was an early CSS supporter but man, didn't the boffins screw up that one.

Exactly and this is why CSS grid has changed my life. CSS grid is tables on Wheaties.
