Poll HN: CSS or Tables - Do you care?

1 points by bkrausz ↗ HN
Over the last few days I've seen way too many CSS vs. tables posts promoted here. My question is, does anyone care? Don't most people know the pros and cons, the hassles of both, and the reasons for using one over the other? My decision on what to use for layout depends on what I'm trying to do: am I way off base here? Is it actually such a hotly debated topic outside of these voices?

tables have their place and uses.

css has its place and uses.

who cares about the ideological warfare. if css is the future, things will evolve towards it naturally. if not, it won't.

You need to know both to be a web developer. Tables are a requirement for email templates. It doesn't matter which is better as long as proficiency in both skills are required.
