He wasn't asking about the merits of CSS for a short-lived, one-time
webpage. But even for that, it's easier to change fonts, etc. to your
friend's liking if he or she didn't like the first one you produced. 

Imagine the friend saying, "I'd like to see more white space between the
text here and the text there and between the text and the picture over
there."

Which one of the following would you prefer to do?

- Change every cell-padding in the HTML file by hand? Or use find/replace
and take the extra time to make sure you haven't missed one or done damage
of some kind inadvertently? Take time to test the page on all browsers? And
perhaps deal with a typing error you may have made? Time, time, time.

- Change a div in the CSS in 3 seconds.
