Using CSS, your pages will NOT look right in all browsers, as all browsers currently in use do not
support CSS fully or at all. It is not the point of learning CSS, it is the implementation (trying
to make sure that it works cross browser, etc.) that is time consuming. I don't want to have to be
concerned about what browser / platform a site visitor might be using. If I use CSS, then I have to
be concerned, which means more time and effort.
I disagree that a browser loads a CSS page faster than a standard HTML page, minus images and other
external content. Unless using inline/embedded CSS, the browser must reference another file for each
page loaded, even if the file is in memory it still take time, especially the first page accessed on
a site. With plain HTML the browser has all of the information needed render the page. Same applies
to external JavaScript files.
Bottom-line, CSS is just another technology that can be used or not used, and I choose to not use it
for much. I get the same basic benefits with ASP/VBScript without the cross browser / platform
issues of using CSS.
