Except if you need to support different device sizes and dynamic layout.

  I’m not defending table based layout but in fairness different device sizes was less of an issue back then because almost all browsing was done on a PC or Mac and thus dynamic layout wasn't even something you needed to considerate.

    Well, my point was more that it’s not a great option today. You’re right, back in the day when everyone’s screen sizes were somewhat consistent, it worked, though still had many quirks.
