I will never understand the bizarre scene of the web's smug collective declaration that tables were dead and not to be used juxtaposed against the years it took to regain the ability to reliably center things. Assuming one agrees that we even did regain it.

Related: I also love when I can't paste tabular data into Excel/etc. anymore

For the record, I don't hate the idea of stylesheets, but...sheesh

This is somehow worse than "never use goto"; because there are plenty of good uses for tables, and CSS was lacking features for forever after the clowns declared "tables bad" and the other clowns followed without thinking
