At one point they were essential. With the death of IE mac 5.2 they are not so crucial anymore. Jmo...

Most people will tell you that you should never use tables which is still flat out wrong. There simply are some things which cannot be achieved without using them unless you resort to insanely unnecessary server side workarounds or javascript hacks.

I think it is a wise move to make the shift with the rest of the web community to divs, relative vs absolute positioning. But keep in mind every tool in the toolbox counts.
