I mix tables and divs in my layout. I use whichever is easiest and works best on the most browsers. In general, I regard HTML/CSS as bytecode for browsers, not a programming language that I should write readable code in, and web standards as something I hope browsers will comply with, not web sites. Sometimes I even abandon templates in favor of graphics-library-style HTML generation.
