Eugenio, screen readers have no problem with tables. What you are talking about is a myth.
Bob, remember that tables have all sorts of properties that are not down to style. For instance, there is the artificial (in that it isn't nested in the markup) grouping of columns, descriptive headings with clear reference, etc.
But at the end of the day, {display: table} is just as ridiculous as div{display:inline} or span{display:block}. Besides, when I made table-based designs I often found myself nesting tables within tables, and I ended up with horribly deep code (a bit like Google ads, only for a reason). With modern CSS we can have table-cells without using table bodies or rows or even tables... It makes life a lot simpler.
