Tables or CSS?

Now that we have CSS, tables are becoming less and less common on websites nowadays.

Do you prefer CSS or tables?

I love CSS, but there are some things I can't do with CSS that I can do with tables. But this is probably because I am fairly new to CSS.

How could you replace tables with CSS? They are two totally different things...

Tables were the only thing being used to create websites a while back. Then CSS was released and it changed everything.

Oh, well CSS still can't replace tables, tables are still the only thing being used. CSS does not create the website, just makes it easier to code.

I would say css....Tables are the normal tags to use and easy when starting the coding. But in the long run, css will help you out best. Kinda like php.... If you have a 20+ page site and need to change one thing that is on every page, having css would change it on all pages by 1 file being edited. Not every page...LOL. Trial and Error. I still use tables though. But css is also my choice.
