> layouts were implemented by abusing table elements to create a grid.
Never understood what was actually wrong with it, apart from the whole "semantic html" yadda yadda that is meaningful for a small subset of applications.

In practice though we always had to clean up and modify the HTML anyway. Sometimes just to remove all the old table cruft, but often adding and removing page elements. But pages did become cleaner and easier to maintain without table layouts, so it was a net improvement.
I am surprised people here still hold on to that era of CSS. There are even people in the comments being proud of clearfix
But I should probably be thankful for CSS for getting me out of webdev early :)
