Great article, the major problem is that many web designers/developers even now learn their trade from ‘very old’ books and articles, (and out of date video tutorials) which all show basically the same design, (and end up looking the same) .
Even worse are the graphic designers that produce a site with PhotoShop, (or some other graphic program) and then ‘proclaim’ that they do web design/development.
Unfortunately as I have also experienced many forums aimed at web designers/developers reinforce this view, just the mention of ‘progressive enhancements’ or “none standard layout’ will often send the members into a state of frenzied posts proclaiming – “css rule xxx or yyy will not work in browser xx, and should not be used until zzz condition is met”.
