My 2c.

Tables support valignment.

enough said.....

You can have CSS layout certain screens with some serious screwing
around, and in the end? what is the payoff. I've seen blind CSS
disciples of THOOK preech and come close to having blows over TABLES
vs Positioning and the key thing that gets really neglected a lot is
this:

Tables are XHTML compliant. So this whole b.s about the pro's / con's
of using them is basically a Ford vs Holden argument.

Tables used in Layouts can be worthwhile, but you run the risk of
making your entire UI Layout positioning / control less agile if you
were to simply use DIVS.

That being said, the chances of you have a 1 HTML code block and 50
CSS styles/kins is freakin small.

On top of that, if we really wanted to go down the path of being
"pure" and "lurve" with CSS, then if a damn well freakin browser(s)
fully supported the table-row, table-cell properties properly we
wouldn't be having thine debate.

in that you could use div tags to emulate what TABLE tags do now, by
symply reclassifying their properties to inherit the above properties
correctly .. *pant*.

Its why i love flex.. no more of this silly CSS debates.
