Well, if you ask me — no. Not really.

I got an email from Brian today. Here it is:

It’s super-web-geeky, but there was a hot debate this past week over tableless, all CSS design, here are the links:

The article that started it all: CSS is BS.

Responses to CSS is BS.

The most compelling defense.

And of course, here’s my take on it.

This whole issue reminds me of the uproar against Flash a few years back, where newbies and gurus alike got their panties all in a bunch. It’s entertaining, a bit funny and in the end, as with all things Web at this point in time, there really is no right or wrong.

If you are interested, here are my thoughts on this from a few weeks back.

Before JWZ can bitch about how badly CSS sucks he needs to understand two important points:

1. CSS was not created to replace tables.
2. Absolute visual control is antithetical to the nature of the Web

Understand those first, and then I’ll listen to your rant.
