Debate?  Or false dichotomy?

The thing some people have issues with is not using tables for layout but using 
HTML <table> tags, which carry the semantics of actual tabular data, for layout. 
  You can use the CSS table display types for layout to your heart's content as 
far as anyone's concerned....
