i used to "slice" my layouts with Adobe ImageReady then customize the generated tag-soup with Dreamweaver. Then i transitionally changed my techniques to adopt full-css templating. It takes me more time but i like the way i can control several page's presentation by changing only one (ore more) file. I also find it more php (or templating system) friendly because there are less tags involved. I find it interesting to see other hacker's point of view on that. It seems like the css way is not THE only way of doing things. Maybe you can get the better of both worlds and use tables for things that looks like tables and use css for what it's made for (i.e :floating stuff, styling fonts). Not that tables are made to structure the content. It's just easier.
