This is a stupid answer. If the guy uses TV, you give the answer how to do 
it with TV (or how to find a solution to do it with TV). And you don't need 
to install extensions to achieve different layouts. You can use TS to change 
the stdWrap of content element to how you like it. Even make a lot of different 
wraps, which can be chosen within. And what he is asking for is very easy 
to achieve with TV. And it also is very easy to use for editors.

Fdfx_2cols and fdfx_3cols can be used with TV with no problem at all. So 
they aren't any argument for changing from TV. th_specialelements can also 
be used with TV, but you have to rewrite the templates if you want a tableless 
design. kb_conttable also works okay with TV, but is "no way" if you want 
tableless design. 

Maybe you find standard page module the easy way for you. Others, like me, 
wouldn't drop the TV way for different reasons.
