I find that using pure CSS layout , like an obnoxious backseat driver, often ends up stearing the design a little bit in the end. This is most often a problem when floating elements inside a centered div - the darn footer elements colapse upwards; don't float use positining and margins? Crossbrowser catastrophe! Usually one simple table takes care of so many things. When I design a sight I design first and code second.

Or maybe it just takes time for everyone to agree. I can imagine the Microsoft people and the Mozilla people etc gathered around a big table arguing like: "rotation would be useful", "No! Rotation is blasphemy! Give them rotation and next they'll ask for drop-shadows!" "Drop shadows would be great too!" "To hell with your drop-shadows" "Well we're going to support it!" "Go right ahead, see what I care!"... From a designer's standpoint it's frustrating when you're used to being able to do just about anything in a program like Photoshop and then you try to translate your design to the web and all hell breaks loose. It's one reason I abandoned interest in web design for many years. In the end you often have to choose between making something interesting and making something safe. I say all developers/designers boycott all the non-Firefox browsers just so we can all get on the same bloody page!
