I realise as well that many problems with the use of CSS can be laid at the feet of IE6.
Indeed.
However, IE6 is the dominant browser and is what most of your clients and their clients are using.
Unfortunately :(
Using tables for layout is also a fairly intuitive thing, so using them was not a problem for people making web sites.
Nope. What is your process of drawing on paper? Do you draw the separate objects independently and combine them, or do you use squared paper and draw the image at once, square by square?
In the 1990's tables were "raped" for creating layouts on web, because there were no alternatives. Now the situation is different and I can't see any advantage of drawing box by box than using freely the whole available space.
