Only 90s Web Developers Remember This
Sometimes I long for the simplicity of the 1x1 transparent gif. Combined with tables for layout, it really brought the notion of "design" to the web and helped transform the web to mass medium.

Tables + 1x1.gif don't really seem much simpler than CSS with flexible boxes.

complete browser compatibility (yes nearly 100%) and fast to layout without wierd box model behavior which was fixed only relatively recently.

That's by virtue of being older, not simpler. There was also a time when 1x1.gif and tables weren't supported anywhere.
