Sometime Today, DJ cobbled together some glyphs to say:
Yes, tables are nice but Divs are the latest rage :P. Actually Divs are very good for positioning while tables are very good to actually place the data in a particular order. Sure you can do it with Divs but people still prefer tables to a larger extent.
you've missed the point. yesterday's bad webdevs used tables for layout, todays bad webdevs replaced all tables with divs and sat back smugly. tables are for tabular data, divs are for logical divisions of data. build your markup correctly and you'll be able to change the style of your site without touching the markup ever again.
Yes, it will work in IE, Firefox, Opera, and several other browsers that you haven't heard of.

If you want others to keep their opinions to themselves, then you should too.
