CSS allows a lot more flexibility for delivery of your website to 
different types of browsers, though (e.g. conditional checks of browser 
to deliver info to mobile/small screen browsers without having two 
branches of the website).  The way the google spiders work, unless you 
are careful with your robots.txt, you could wind up with duplicate 
content penalties.

I can understand the desire for stream-lining web sites, I hate ads and 
cluttered pages as much as anyone.  But going from coding HTML for 
nice-looking displays using inline info to using CSS is night and day as 
far as I am concerned.
