For simple stuff, sure HTML and CSS is great, but when I want something print-perfect I use LaTeX.
A simple table in LaTeX is no harder than in HTML, assuming the same level of knowledge in the tool.
But then when you throw in a simple requirement like "left margins on even pages and right margins on odd pages need to be larger", HTML becomes hell to work in.
HTML and CSS, even with a media query for print, sucks.
