Most major sites use tables for the layout, and then use CSS tricks
(unrelated to CSS, but cross-browser necessary) to stabilize those. The
reason is simple: CSS varies greatly, but almost every browser can
display a table, and the few glitches can be fixed quickly.
The table model is still the most comprehensive for tabular layout. CSS
beats it for certain other types of layout.
