I don't know, it all depends on what you're used to. After a while, the
DOM way feels natural to me. Supposes it's the same as CSS-based design
vs. table.  One is easier to do, but the other is more powerful and
flexible once you get used to it.

Granted, some non-compliant things (like "innerHTML") can be a great
quick fix that saves much lines of script.

Scott Andrew LePera has some excellent articles/tutorials available at
his site, I highly recommend it as a first stop:
