@ifixcoinops@retro.social This entire thread hurts my brain because, while I came to web stuff a bit later than 1998 ('04-ish), the journey basically the same just skipping straight to dreamweaver.
also tables, and being told for years "no never use tables, use CSS" even when CSS wasn't nearly as powerful as it is now.

@EUCWolf@bark.lgbt I think, it depended on what contents you wanted to create / design. I started writing HTML/CSS around 2001, first with frames, shortly after with tables, but switched to "pure" CSS soon after and never looked back at the former ways of "crafting" websites. @ifixcoinops@retro.social

@EUCWolf@bark.lgbt @ifixcoinops@retro.social And in the end, many years later, after lots of people lost their sanity to try to get what they needed by fighting with no-tables... the W3C created "grid layout", which is tables (and more) with a different name :shrugz: (So... maybe tables weren't such a bad solution after all)
