Dumb polling question.

The best sites on the web currently use both tables and CSS. So do I for several reasons.

First, HTML, XHTML, and every other markup language currently recognized by browser manufacturers are all children of parent SGML - which none of them recognize.

That's because SGML, like it's little offspring XML, is all about structure and nothing about content.

CSS, on the other hand, has nothing to do with layout (read structure) and everything to do with adjusting content.

So talking about "CSS without tables" is like talking about mascara without skeletons or visa versa.

CSS is not a King-Hell solution for serious developers of any stripe at this juncture. It's just a tool to manage content as best you can. The W3C adopted it to override all the stupid personal settings browsers allow to "empower" users, which mirrors the idiotic Twain incompatability printer manufacturers perpetuated for years.
