Here are a couple reasons: - At one point the design becomes a nightmare to maintain. I've worked on some web apps, where we had pages with 15 levels deep tables in tables in tables ... - Separating the semantic information in .html from the design in .css. Can help with SEO, screen readers, cashing.

I'm currently maintaining an application that uses Coldfusion and has a table based layout. It's a nightmare.

15 level deep? That's nothing. Try http://www.telsiai.lt/ http://www.telsiai.lt/ I did not count the nesting level, but the total number of tables according to my bookmarklet is 348. Yep, we do have some wonderful CMS over there…
