Semantic means "meaning" - using tables in markup imply the data in them has a particular structure/meaning in it's presentation regardless of style. Putting tabular data in divs presents the problem of it losing meaning if the style is lost.
I'm not quite sure how you can justify using divs for tabular data.
There are tons of workarounds in web design when you have to go with what works as the lesser of all evils, but this is definitely not one of them. I can't believe there are those here arguing this point.
