CSS vs. Tables?

[gravymaster]

Am doing a new site at the moment, and I am seriously considering the whople layout as well as the styles for fonts, scrollbars etc in CSS. I am fed-up with tables, and the syntax for CSS layouts is much better, more flexible, reusable and easier to keep track of (IMHO).
I am slightly worried about browser compatability though. Have CSS compatability issues pretty much disappeared now? Any advice would be great!

I use CSS and have had no problems with it (compatibility wise), and IMHO it is much better than any other way and a lot more flexible .

PS. Do a view source on a piston heads page and you'll see its using them as well:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/css/0.css">

I'm sold - my new site (I'm working on it now) will be table-free XHTML/CSS.

Have a look at www.csszengarden.com for inspiration
