alt Hacker NewsNo, dealing with tables was like trying to build a house out of tempered glass.
With css grid, I can tell each element which area or column+row to occupy.
If I add or remove a random element, the rest of the elements stay in the correct place.
But do that with a table and you end up trying to glue your house back together shard by shard whilst trying not to cut yourself or breaking things more.

This complaint highlights how absurdly not fit-for-purpose html+css actually is. Okay, you may want to do "responsive" design, but you have the semantic layout fixed, therefore you try and contort a styling engine into pretending to be a layout engine when in reality it is three stylesheets in a trenchoat.
