I have tried and found it good.

Layout with tables is many years old-fashioned.  Only a few users may need
table layout, but most users, especially users with mobile devices, would
surely prefer a responsive Web design.

That said, I don't think it is good to include dengen's work into
Geeklog-2.0.0.  As other people said, it will break backward compatibility
too much.  In addition, it is efficient and desirable to introduce a new
template engine (e.g. Smarty or Twig?) to make the best of his work.

So how about making this a project for this summer:
  1. Introducing a new responsive Web design based on dengen's work.
  2. Introducing a new template engine.
