Is <table> still up to date?

Question

Recently I learned a lot about CSS: float, flex-box, grid....

Do modern webdesigner still use table?
What else is out of date(using modern browsers)

Answer 1

Modern frameworks still use <table> like bootstrap (https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.3/content/tables/) or material in angular (https://material.angular.io/components/table/examples). It is hard to avoid such traditional data representation. All those grids and flexboxes are useful for make-up also, but can coexists with table where it is appropriate.

Answer 2

The flex-box and grid are used for the website LAYOUT while tables are used for presenting data. You can't(rather shouldn't) use flex-box in place of tables.
And yes modern webdesigners still use tables

Answer 3

Pleased think of blind people also: To use the internet they need to use screen readers that output the contents via voice. But they read the html file from top to bottom, without taking care about positions (how would you position by tunes??). This can render a site completely unreadable for the blind, because the order the reader software outputs the contents may be completely different from the css Layout.
