It is still unreliable for control of layout.

There are still many issues to be solved with Tableless based design.
Only reason anyoen would want tabless design is for Mobile devices and such and even in those cases Tableless over Table design is not even worth comparing.

Its just a different way but not a solid way that insures cross browser and mobile compatibility. Table based design still is better, however a good designer uses both and knows when to use Tableless and not use Tables.
Congrats, you just set a record for the most uses of the non-word "tableless" in a GFY post. How do I know, well there are red Firefox typo underlines all over your post ... and now mine too.
