Ask HN: CSS vs table based layouts

I'm working on my own site, and I was able to come up with a decent layout in about an hour or two using tables. I then had a pang of guilt, and started re-doing things in CSS, and but it's taking me forever.

I know that from time to time, PG gets crap for using tables for HN, but it seems to work rather well, and it renders the same across all the browsers I've used, including my Android phone.

I'd love to hear an educated discussion on table based vs CSS based layouts. Please discuss.
