sure, if you have a designer that doesn't know what he's doing..
A good CSS designer can create a hella complicated design in just a few lines of code with CSS
I'm not sure what kinda CSS you've seen, but CSS layouts always yield less code if done correctly.. probably 20% of the code of a tabled design
Code:
<div id="header"></div>
<div class="container">
<div id="left"></div>
<div id="right"></div>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
<div id="Footer"></div>
Compare that, to the tabled example below - same layout
<table width="95%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td colspan="2"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="20%"></td>
<td width="80%"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2"> </td>
</tr>
</table>
that's as basic as it gets
you can imagine how the tabled layout would multiply in a more complicated case
