CSS is about abstracting the presentation from the content. Tables used for
layout goes against that. As proof I'll simply point out that you can't use
tables for a CSS layout of an XML document. XML being purely abstracted
content and CSS being purely presentation. (Makes me giddy!)
Now while I disagree with you about the goals of CSS, I'll admit that I
still resort to layout tables in X/HTML too. I have to because the authors
of CSS didn't give me the tools to do what I need otherwise.
