Hi, OK first off I am not trying to start an argument just looking for a clear concise answer.
I use divs and spans over h1, h2 h3 p etc. I use them for many reasons some of which are that they are neutral and generic, they have no extra bagage, they are a clean slate for styling, I don't have to worry about any predefined styles that come with that particulat tag like h1, h2, h3, p, etc... I don't see anywhere where it says that I should use a heading tag instead of a div for a heading. Granted I did not spend hours looking but I did take a look. So what is wrong with using divs and spans? To me they are a far better container than the others for the reasons stated above. Just my 2 cents.
