CSS isn't for nerds. Nerds are smart.

Seriously it took them like 20 years to reimplement table based layouts in the form of grid. In between we were stuck playing the devils Tetris stacking boxes on top of each other and trying to float all that garbage to produce janky, buggy layouts that would crumble apart when resized.

Wow, this is so true. Why was it so bad for so long? I mean, obviously browsers are to partially blame but at some point way earlier in the cycle we should have figured something out.
