I think all these people that think everything needs to be done in CS are just a bunch johny jump on the band wagons. Tables serve their purpose very well. If you don't need exotic positions for images over text ect..ect.. then tables can very quicly allow you to toss a layout together that will work in any browser.

Meanwhile you will be spending 2 days trying to figure out why this looks this way in IE.. but some other way in FF, when using css.

Meanwhile the SE's couldn't give a damn if the layout is CSS or tables..
This is a valid statement, I dont think anyone ever said it wasnt...

In fact I keep trying to say tables are useful, but CSS is better...

I still use tables every day... But css is not some johnny jump wagon whatever... it can be used to up the dynaic nature of your site... it IS superior to tables..

Tables although of lesser value are most often equally useful...
