Consistency was why I didn't like the fluid layout as it wasn't uncommon to have nice looking articles with the elements of the page where you wanted them at one screen size and very sucky articles with page elements everywhere else at another. From my experience, editing (and reading in some cases) is easier if consistency is maintained.
