Why's everyone suddenly bashing tables?

good question 
It has got something to do with webpage layout and the W3C standards.
Here's a link for someone who obviously thinks the same... http://davespicks.com/essays/notables.html

Simple story,
tables are meant to tabulate data. If you are not tabulating and presenting data, don't use tables.
Why? Because an aural browser will be very confused by a table used for layout. So the blind population will have no choice but to boycott your site.
Besides, the goal of the web is to seperate content from layout. Using tables for layout underminds this.
