Here's an "article" that explains why I use tables:

1) They work.
2) They work for my clients.
3) No other way has been proven to me to work better.
4) I'm not prejudiced against tables.
5) For now I'm too lazy to learn an alternative method to tables.
6) I couldn't care less about validation or other criteria.
7) I'm happy.
What do you do when the client wants to make a font or layout change site wide, and they have 60 pages??

The old way you would edit every single page, if it took 1 minute per page, probally would take more, you would spend and have to charge out for an hours work.

The css way you could spend a couple of minutes on the style sheet, then your done, much smarter.

I'm not against tables, I still use them on a regular basis but not for the complete layout of a page.

I would in that case use a Dreamweaver template & maybe css.

That shows each web designer is different, I use tables for the complete layout of a page.

See the 'Why use web standards?' a little bit down the page.
