PG is brilliant and everyone has their own methodology, but there are a lot of reasons to not use tables aside from standards. Just because someone gave insight into their method, does not mean it's universal. Horses for courses...
For one, tables are excess bloat... as your site scales, those small kb turn into big bandwidth savings. Two, code uniformity is important when you have multiple people working on an intensive design and efficiency is critical. XHTML/CSS is practically the new table for new developers entering the market.
And three, as we age we get stuck in our ways. Doesn't surprise me PG may prefer tables. It took me 3 years to wean off of them... but the decision was for the better and I would never go back to tables, except for data display. :)
