A great application, but my preference these days is to always make webpages that are not laid out using tables.

Would be great just to have nice DIV layers for the forms, ripe for customisation as opposed to incredibly restrictive tables.

Once I have created my components, I am going to have to spend just as much time as the initial creation going through the views and removing the tables.. still saving masses of time overall, but mildly annoying

Well i also think it would be better to have div's and go tableless but with template overrides and a good notepad++ search/replace sequence, it's not that long to change. You still have lots to do with your divs to get a nice looking page anyway.

This is what you call a component builder. I was able to master using this in a very short time and the resulting component works like a charm. Not just a basic component builder but a fully working component builder with forms fields tables all ready to go. You can make the list and item views to display in the front and back end. Also there is a great forum just starting to evolve and I'm sure this will grow very rapidly when you all realise how good this tool is.
