Yes, css has complicated things a bit, though the biggest "complication" is
the browsers' lack of compliance. Still, I never particularly liked tables
and positioning with them isn't particularly precise, either.
I'm not quite sure what your "struggle" with thumbnails is but I usually
find interleaving text properly more of a challenge.
For my own part, I've decided not to worry 'bout IE6 no mo'. '6 gets a
simple page rerouted from a more esoteric page equal to the capabilities of
compliant browsers. If and when IE7 comes out and works, it's a simple
matter to remove the routing and let it shine according to its
wherewithall. I'm tired of struggling with markup mostly just to get IE6
to function and thereby often limiting what other browsers can actually do.
