I like tables because they don't fall apart if the stylesheet is not available
That's actually one of the positive sides of CSS, without the stylesheet you have a site that's high on accessibility and also ready to be used on portable devices.

Why would a stylesheet not be available? Not like javascript where a user can have it disabled.

CSS is harder to grasp than table based layouts, and until Internet Explorer matches Firefox, Safari, Opera it's always going to be harder to make a CSS site work on all platforms. So for speed I still like tables, though once CSS is fully mastered by me I hopefully will stop using tables for layouts.

I do like some of the cool tricks you can do with css
Yes many of the CSS designs you see on the following sites can't be done using tables, others would involve a ridiculous amount of nesting.
