One of my first posts ever was about the problems and inconsistancy of SharePoint layout pages. Read it here and here...
Anyway, my first impression of MOSS 2007 beta 1 was quite good, looking at masterpages, features and the design options with SharePoint Designer and WCM options. I have to say, there has been some great improvements!
But then, the longer I work with MOSS 2007 (beta2tr), the more problems I run into. I've posted before how to avoid tables in the default SharePoint menu control, but one of the most annoying things are the use of CSS in template pages. For example, the searchresults.aspx page:
(inline styles - click to enlarge)
(more styles and inconsistant html - click to enlarge)
I guess, consistant styles and html is low priority in the SharePoint team. I'm still hoping the RTM will solve these things...
