OK, so I'm working on a project in which the developers are laying out tabular

They say this is good because:
1. It's fast
Compared to what?
2. They can manipulate the resulting DOM much more easily than they could with
a table
Would love to see examples.
3. Developers find it easier to, say, add or remove columns from the tables,
without having to
edit the code all the way down the table (no wysiwyg editors here!)
?"all the way down the table"? So, a hard-coded data table, rather
than a set of rows populated by looping through a data source?
That's just sad. Perhaps you can gently hint that it's now the 21st
Century. And these people call themselves "developers"?

Stop! My sides!! :-)
