Why Tables For Layout Is Stupid

"Why Tables For Layout Is Stupid" (http://hotdesign.com/seybold/everything.html) is a great presentation that outlines why the IRC #css lot think that you should use PositionalCSS instead of tables for layout.

To date I understand the argument but still believe that PositionalCssIsImmatureTechnology, mostly caused by Internet Explorer's extremely poor implementation of CSS.

Until I found the DebuggingCSS tools I believed it was too much trouble to make it work, but InternetExplorerDeveloperToolbar and Firefox's WebDeveloperToolbar make it a bit more palettable.
