Actually, I would suggest he has tried writing css, but without any
support (eg this list) to get him past that 'hump' that we all
experience when changing over.
CSS-driven markup is no harder than table-driven markup, but it is
completely different, and if you have been trained in one, then the
other is somewhat counterintuitive.
I could imagine an equivalent article being written by someone starting
now, who learns only css, and then for some bizarre reason got a job in
a table-driven shop ('our clients demand pixel perfect presentation
across all browsers, including NN4' - it wasnt that long ago that that
happened....).
The table-driven hacks would drive them mad.
So dont be too mad at him.
The best revenge is success. :)
warmly,
Lea
