So they use tables. Big deal.

I don't get that CSS snobbery. Tables do work on even older browsers. That's something you want for a tool that generates code for people who don't want/can't put up with writing HTML themselves. For them the product has to work and look good in most of the browsers.

Did you actually look at the code?

It's not CSS snobbery. It's HTML snobbery, which to some people still matters, for the usual accessibility reasons as well as wanting to write the correct code for the job.

Sure, but if you're hired to write HTML code then I guess you won't be using tools like this. You know how to work around browser perks. But Joe who just wants a website made probably doesn't - and he doesn't care.
