yes it does... when you use it... you can modify the layout of your site while keeping it an aesthetically pleasing look and easily navigable to the surfer - another benefit is making dynamic navigation which is very important. But making that navigation appear above your info while in actuality it is on the bottom within the code...

All of this IS SEO beneficial...

I don't think you understood the point of my post. I do only CSS based designs, tables are for tabular data. I am not downplaying the importance of CSS, but using it for the sole purpose to improve SEO is ridiculous and just plain wrong. Re-read my post: valid and standards compliant HTML, proper use of tags for semantic purposes, clean/uncluttered markup - all of this is what is important for SEO, not CSS.
You are correct in the the valid HTML and what not... It is more important than using css... BUT CSS can and WILL (if done right, and you are not outdone by other sites) help your seo presence...
