It's easier to design in tables and then break a brain or two to get it into proper CSS. On the whole, looking at the people who come to the site, they want the content and don't care all that much about how the layout was created. Out of about 20k unique people (non-bots) a day, I can say that 1/4 - 1/3 are new people who come to the site looking for a particular piece of data. They don't care about the site beyond that data. Yes, I'd like to rope them in and get them to stay, but.... That being said, I do plan to use CSS when the design is 'there'.
