If tables are so evil, why does joomla use tables for its layout?

layout

When you create a template you don't use tables. but when joomla rendereds the page, there are at least 4 places where tables are used to structure the content.

Does this tell you something about tables

or the fact that the joomla community should invest more time and learn how to code css

or just the fact that tables are needed when you don't know what css is going to be throw in later(which probably means they are of some use)?
