My site is about high resolution 3D graphics and multimedia applications 
mainly. It makes no sense to target hand-held devices, or blind people for 
that matter in this case. Rather, on their high resolution monitors, which I 
*know* my intended audience have, I want the site to look good.

Turns out lots of other people want their sites to look good too. Sure, many 
avoid tables and style markup directly in the content, but they still use 
loads of nested divs which have no purpose other than helping control the 
look. What I'm saying is that I don't see how using tables is worse that 
using all those leyout-specific nested divs.

Who does that? I find that most people love CSS, including me... I just take 
certain liberties, that's all, but I still would hate to design a site again 
without the aid of CSS.
