Algorithms and the dev community today might freak out themselves if someone used one too many divs, or a bit to much JavaScript…

God help them if they saw the blink tag…

There's never been used as much javascript in the history of time as right now, and it's never been doing as little as it does right now :P

Because.. why use a perfectly good browser to render your html when you can implement another, lesser browser within the browser in javascript and have THAT render your html, but badly.

Also, divs and css for layouts suck, TABLES is the way to go :)

Mobile killed tables for layout.

Unless you replicate the table in different configurations and use CSS to show one for each screen size.

I miss tables

I still work on some old sites / code that uses tables.

I LOATH tables. Flexbox is so much easier.

Framesets -- I /love/ framesets and I still use them to make things!

It even has/had a name: DIVitis. ;)

"DIVitis". Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time.

Ah, this is what React suffers from.

It doesn’t have to as you can use fragments (<><Stuff /></>) to avoid adding a wrapper div since a few years back
