Also, site-wide changes are very easy to do in CSS versus changing every page with tables. If you need an easy way to create valid CSS layouts, there's a great piece of software that makes them at the click of a button.

Luckily there is a fix, you can actually switch the behavior of boxed to the IE5 model which has the padding and the border on the inside of width. This makes percentage values for widths actually make sense. The only real advantages of CSS-P is the greater flexibility of design and graceful degradation, useful for those who serve the web with the styles off. All the other advertised advantages are bunk. CSS-P actually takes longer to make and is harder to maintain and redesign, especially if people of different skill levels maintain the same site. Tables are much simpler for most people to work with, and they are much more stable. Cell phones nowadays take people to the real web, and blind people are not likely to visit photo galleries or web stores - it is easier to shop over the phone. CSS make tables much better and simpler and this is another reason to use them. I design pages in both CSS-P for big clients, and tables+css for private clients who actually want to be able to maintain them themselves. I certainly don't think that tables are evil. Think of CSS-P as the M-16 and tables as the Kalashnikov.
