Thing is, tables were so popular for a reason: they were great for the job. They provided solid and elastic grid, the base for most layouts.
I'm all for standards, but I'm also very disappointed that some basic positioning features we used to take for granted (like vert. align or equal height columns) were taken away.
There are more annoying features of css that no designer would invent, ie:
- cancelling top/bottom margins of block elements
- box model with padding
values adding to the element's dimmensions (microsoft's IE5.0 version was more logical, but politically wrong)and so on..
