Vritually everybody nowadays uses CSS for font formatting - and virtually everytbody would also use it for layout as well if you could do one thing and one thing only: a designer designs a page in Photoshop and hands it off to a sitebuilder who builds exactly that page. You can with tables, but with CSS and all the issues that still exist in different browsers it's not so easy.
All the other stuff - whether it displays on a PDA, or will be viewable in 5 years, or passes the W3C validation test - is beside the point. And if you handcode your tables well, the size difference between CSS layout and tables is negliigible.
Honestly, I WISH I could make everything in XHTML that validates. But it just isn't possible all the time and the reasons to do so (view on a PDA?) just are not high priorities.
