in an ideal world yes, but unfortunately that is not the case, they are still being used by a lot of folk and I wish it would go away, just like IE6.Tables havent been used in web "DESIGN" since the 90's
I am also on team DIVs!
However.. if you are working in collaboration with other developers, you may consider tables.. as a lot of people will break your site due to lack of div/css knowledge & carelessness.
anyone who calls themselves a developer should know how to code properly: their problem, not yours (assuming your using valid code) advocating tables just cos some other people are about 10 years out of date doesn't help anyone
+1. Tables should never be used for layout.

it was cleared up years ago
i think that this has pretty much been firmly established now, unless anyone else wants to repeat what's been said. again.This debate was won long ago. Use tables if you want to display a table, for everything else use divs.
