@nternetinspired any thoughts?

In an LTR document, and most definitely in a table, all copy should be left aligned. The only exception I would make to that rule would be for items without text, like buttons and checkboxes, which usually look better centrally aligned within their <td>.

what about with numbers?

Just want to get a complete answer before doing a big PR

Well the browser default is left-aligned, as it is with the whole document. There's cases where, from a typographical perspective, it may be desirable to right align a column of numbers: http://practicaltypography.com/grids-of-numbers.html but I feel that's overkill here and requires far too much manual intervention.

Bootstrap's behaviour is to not apply any alignment on table contents: http://getbootstrap.com/css/#tables so this is strictly a template-designers choice and one which I personally don't feel is correct. In this case I think the appearance would be improved and the template codebase lightened simply by allowing the browser to do its thing and left-align everything. TBH even left aligned buttons and checkboxes look fine to me, I only highlighted those as a possible item where there might be valid disagreement (form elements aren't typically part of a normal table content).

You'd get a from me remove all .center classes on table cells.

yeah thats what I plan to do - especially when we have it on a thead and
not on a td and vice versa

for changes!

My opinion: left for text, center for icons/images and right for numeric (id is always on the right now, and could be right align).
Almost as you did @brianteeman in Option 2 ;-)

I suspect that any changes made now would be overwritten by changes in 3.5 for JLayouts so am putting this on the backburner for now @phproberto and adding a 3.5 milestone
