Removing

Are there any reasons why I should not remove the left and right columns from the main table, and turn them into divs?

Re: Removing

I have seen other people say they have successfully done this. Of course, it will make that much more work to merge upgraded files, but if the results are worth it for you, go for it.

Maybe someday the core code will be entirely div-based. I understand the major table was left to make it harder for newbies to break the layout.

Re: Removing

If you make a tpl_main_page.php and put it in your template override you can remove anything you want to. That is the beauty of the overrides :)
