lmtsypin, there are a number of posts on pure CSS DNN sites, and several tutorials.  Some are even offered for free - so your post is confusing.  I too would prefer pure CSS sans-tables, but in the cost/benefit of where I spend my time - it's on functionality first.  I'm sure that's the core team focus as well. 

Why is it significantly wrong to use tables anyway?  It's not the best or cleanest, but it works.  Perhaps you should propose to join the CT and develop that solution towards CSS and compliance.

If you're comparing DNN to using plain HTML, that wikipedia criticism seems valid, right?

EVERY portal has this problem. You cannot possibly create an efficient DIV/CSS website without knowing the content before hand. You're going to at least have redundant code and javascript tricks for all the different browsers, and also lots of nested DIV's.

Since DIV's align to each other, you're going to have major problems using 3rd party modules who cannot possibly know your design scheme.

Also, I can only imagine how many Admin features would break if you start letting users define the DocType. The only way to solve this is to get rid of SOLPART menus and all the rest of the fancy GUI.

I just think people aren't seeing the big picture. Maybe in 5 years it will be different, but right now we aren't really building webpages, we're building applications for IE, Netscape, Mozilla, and Safari. That's the sad truth. ;)

DIVitis is a contagious disease

I personally do all my skins with DIV's and my modules with tables.

On a slow site this has the advantage of loading module by module just like a pure DIV/CSS design and you can keep the advantage (read: easyness) of aligning controls with tables
