    I can do it just fine, but for strict layouts like the ones I'm working with now it hardly makes sense not to use tables, because they lay themselves out in no time at all.

    If IE supported all of the CSS display properties (see http://www.htmldog.com/reference…) I'd use div/span with these, because they behave just as tables. Basically what I'm getting at is that the behavior of tables serves a great function outside of tabular data, and until their is a universal method of utilizing that function efficiently then I might as well use them, since the only real downside is the stigma of using tables (visually impaired need not see the site) and slightly longer page loads (though nothing not acceptable).
