I'm still astonished these layouts took so long to arrive.

It's amazing how developers were able to get around this lack of layouts for so long.

You worked with what you had. It's not fundamentally different from the situation today. There's still plenty of styling things you can't do in CSS, and we work around those, or live with the inability, just the same. There was just less you could do in the past. So long as users can consume the content, the rest is just fluff.
