When you create columns using CSS, you are creating a table-like look, are you not? Is CSS3 going to reinvent the wheel?
sure you are creating a table-like look, but there is not as much markup with css as there is with tables, in most cases.
with html and css you don't have the need for empty cells in your design as with tables, thus, less markup. plus you have more control over positioning elements than with tables; and you can design with overlapping elements with html and css; i don't see the ability to do that with tables.
i used to design with tables and found it unsatisfactory, but since i was wysiwyging it, i didn't know of a better way, plus css was in its infancy. when i made the change to tableless design i had problems until the light came on and i realized that positioning was done with "cells" if you will. i couldn't do a table layout if my mother's life was on the line.
i don't think that css3 is going to reinvent the wheel, but it will allow for better, more sophisticated presentational tools, like being able to use svg as a background image. i can't wait for that one!
