Absolutely agree. The hundreds of websites devoted to explaining how to achieve a X-column fluid layout are testament to CSS's failings in this regard - seriously, layout as a problem has been solved for 15+ years [1]. We're finally getting some progress on constraint-based layout in the form of the flexible box model (great modern browser support), and CSS grid layout, which surprisingly enough is coming from MS. I agree, the fact that it's almost 2013 and we're still wasting valuable brainpower on f*ing around with what should be trivial layouts is a bit of a shame.
