Programming is all about abstraction management. Doing layouts with JS is using the wrong abstractions. CSS was originally conceived for doing document layouts but it's less suitable for web-application layout. We can leave the discussion here, if the article I posted didn't convince you, nothing probably will.

Well, I'm somewhat still arguing in the context of the OP's assertion that "the hackery required to attempt to imitate native mobile apps is horrific". I not only disagree that it's horrific, but actually think it's pretty darn good. I agree with you that it's not perfect, but perfect is the enemy of good.
