I used to develop sites with nothing but tables, and now I use CSS as well. I have noticed a slite change in the way my sites are indexed for the better. Thats enough evidence for me.
I read somewhere a while back that google prefers faster loading pages, which CSS accommodates. I still use tables for some layout to achieve centered positioning of the content regardless of the users resolution settings, and for the simple reason that I have seen to many websites load, without loading the refered CSS file for some reason. Fortunately reloading the page will usually render the page completely in tact, but I prefer my sites to be understandable under any circumstance.
