Anyone can hate if they want but here it is.
FACT: Table based designs suck, period. Tables are for tabular data, the w3c will tell you this, as well as any professional that knows dick about web development. Not only does this make your markup semantically correct, but you get numerous other benefits (seo related, ease of maintaining, ease of change, smaller files, less bandwidth)
FACT: If you are a designer in 2008 stuck making table based layouts you should take the time to learn how to do css right, it's really not hard. Just because your a fossil and stuck in your ways doesn't mean the new ways are wrong, their not, they are better then the old ways, suck it up, learn something new and you'll be alot happier with your life, career, and cash flow.
As consumers, webmasters should always expect and demand web standards compliant designs, etc... from designers and programmers, for every shitty one out there that won't deliver that, there are 10 way better ones that will. It's just bad business to be losing money because some designer can't take the 20 minutes it takes to wrap your head around properly floating or positioning things.
