i don't think that's true.
speaking in a client-side basis (without any db work), there are a few clever js solutions for table sorting (cell id * math) which you can never simulate with div without a heavy js file.
tables are good for lists and simple websites. div are good for hide/show but also have issues between browser if you add some interactivity between them.

Use CSS.
Everything messes up, but once you get the hang of CSS it is cleaner and doesn't mess up as much as tables may.
I believe.

Here's the $money answer....
If you're doing a $500 website for mysmalltownshop.com do whatever is quickest and easiest for you.
If you're doing a corporate site that will have many many pages, be updated frequently or have a large audience - use CSS.
