    johnnny,
    you can style table elements with CSS as well as semantic markup, the problem is that creating web pages isnt just about how easy it is for the designers to adapt flats to html pages, there's a whole host of other apects involved and reasons to use XHTML and CSS. trying to justify the use of tables over css with this argument just doesnt cut it, separating design from content has big benefits over the use of tables.

    there are lots of users who posts threads on here (more so a few years ago when more ppl made the transition) and its generally visual designers who post them and the reasons are that they dont understand how to use the new tools (CSS & XHTML) more often than not these ppl are championing CSS months later after they invested their time in learning to use the technology
