tables are still relevant for layout if you work with email at all. In fact, if you want to be able to do email well, you have to be able to do layout like it was 10-20 years ago. There's also lots of legacy code out there to be working with, and sometimes the "old way" of doing it is still better than the new way. A pet peeve of mine is seeing flexbox everywhere, when a simple 'display: inline-block' might work. In my opinion, it's all still relevant so long as it still exists as part of the language.
