Uhhmm no there is not a reason, have you read the thread or done real research on the matter? Table based design is the widest accepted standard for cross browser compatibility hands down resulting in the firmest conformity in browser display.

THere are other reasons why Table based designs are better over CSS. Thats just 1.

1. You don't have the skill to properly write CSS, and you won't learn it.
2. You don't have the money to hire someone good enough to code your shit in CSS.
Read above, or better yet go read the W3C site and the comments of the Consortium regarding CSS.

CSS is unstable thats a fact, as again mentioned at the W3C site numerous times over. CSS infact is the least stable for Browser display stability and cross plat form compatibility.
Infact with Mobile based design Table base design yields the greatest stability in page layout control.

Who is the ignorant one? CSS is over rated unstable shit. It's been proven time and time again at the W3C site and hundreds of designer based forums. CSS is useful to a degree in some cases but I see few arguments that factually put CSS ahead of table based layout and design. CSS may have a future and the future is when CSS is actually easier to utilise and easier to control design elements within a layout with non unpredictable results cross browser and cross platform displays.
