The other con, divitus, that’s not 960′s fault that is what is inherently wrong with CSS, that’s the symptom of the problem not the cause!

Sadly none of the progress that has been made with CSS has ever gone to address the fundamental deficiencies that are involved in it. Most specifically are the deficiencies that other constructs make absurdly easy including framesets, iframes, and tables. With these poorer constructors creating notions like columns and aligning content properly (especially on vertical alignment) are a piece of cake. The fact you need to jump through 50 hoops to get the same end result with CSS is piss poor.
