Feb 10, 2015 at 5:33 comment added skupers Just to add, there are now more elegant and understandable proofs of the uniqueness of smooth structures in dimension 2 and PL structures in dimension 3, due to Hatcher and Hamilton respectively: Hatcher - The torus trick for surfaces, Hamilton - The triangulation of 3-manifolds.
