Do you think that tables have any use anymore when CSS can do the same thing and are better? What are your thoughts on coding tableless or not?

Got to be CSS, have been doing it for a while now and don't think I will be looking back - my code's a lot cleaner and easier to manage/update etc.

Im trying my hand at getting everything done in CSS but still find myself going back to using a few tables here and there, just for ease of creation ect..

As for which one brings better results.. well?

Although i still can't code tableless. I must say tableless looks better in the end.

CSS is the future and it's time that everyone starts to adopt it. Yes, tables still have some uses, but for the most part they're used incorrectly on most websites. It's important that people start using CSS as it's now the web standard.

My existing sites are Table based, and are looking to be a nightmare to convert, but I do intend to convert them eventually.

Anything new that I'm doing I am trying to get into the habit of using XML/CSS for.

All of my sites are of course tabless. I feel tabless less is more effective. I mean its faster loading, and easy to manage, then why spend all those times creating a table? I mean you can make vaild tables, but divs are much faster, and easy to code.

You can basically make tables in CSS now, so why would you use tables? I think it's good to look to the future and use tableless design whenever possible. It's mostly important, though, if you want to support wireless devices.

I would definitely do any new sites in CSS.

Whilst table based designs may be easier to code for some people, the CSS based designs are better in many ways:
- Uses less bandwidth
- Search engines like them, less HTML to parse to find your content
- Easier to update your sites in future
- Layouts are usually rendered faster by the browser

You should not stop using tables altogether though, tabular data should use tables, don't try re-creating that in divs.

CSS is definitely the future. I think that you will see fewer people using tables over the next few years. There are a lot of great advantages like iisbum pointed out.
