First, CSS layout is relatively new thing. Its been possible for a while but bad browser support for CSS made it difficult. I didn't imply that people should use a nested table layout and I clearly statement that now a days most people go for CSS layouts. I was simply saying that Dreamweaver came/comes in handy when you are forced to work with a nested table layout either because its 1998 and I.E. 4 has crappy CSS support or because you're working with HTML generated by Photoshop.

If you think that nested tables gets you in the "ballpark" quicker, then you haven't a clue as to what css is used for.
