Sorry, but most everything you just said is opinion, not fact.

Text-to-speach browsers, such as those used by the blind or poor sighted users render tables horribly.
I had to do a course for work where we had to browse as a blind person browsed... you have no idea how frustrating pages with tables can get if you have never viewed a page that way.
Google (and most search engines) index pages with less table (and style) clutter higher, right?
Tables are a bitch for your browser to render, therefor take a long time to load.
Tables scale horribly... and using tables in any other media or special way (PDA? Print version?) screws up everything
Those are cold hard facts. Google it if you like.
Don't give up on something because you can't do it cross-browser with CSS if you can use a table, but I would advise to keep tables only as a last option.
