My reply is always ..

Try to build a table with 8 rows and 8 columns with a border, cellpadding and cellspacing with divs!

Scary huh! Would take a few seconds with tables whereas with divs many minutes. Div language is not complete either for example text-align aligns images too. There are pro and cons for both. I get more frustrated with divs more than with tables but divs cannot be ignored.
