CSS vs Tables

"...tables or absolute positioning. That’s so 1999." - A List Apart
Educating your client why css layout instead of a table layout:
"Large and/or nested tables in particular can dramatically slow page display." - Designing for the Web
"Web standards such as HTML 4, XHTML, and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) gives you the best of all possible worlds" - Jeffery Zeldman

"The most amazing thing about this tutorial, is that somehow, even though it was completely unrelated, and supposed to be humorous, people STILL managed to get into a tables vs. css debate. YAWNNNNNNNNNN. So tired. So over it. Will someone just buy the domain tablesvscss.com and document all the arguments so we can keep it all in one place and never have to look at it again? I am pro web standards, but at the end of the day, it is such a meaningless thing to be zealous about. People are hungry. " - a comment by anathema on an educational CSS "how to" post
