Well, I develop web sites for a living, and I'd say "it depends".  If 
you need a loop where you have columns in the manner that you described 
then, well, the implication would be that you are dealing with tabular 
data.  And if you're dealing with tabular data then, yes, obviously a 
table is the right tool for the job.  I don't think anyone has any 
problem with that: no CSS advocate is saying tables should never be 
used.  The question is whether they should be used for generic 
placement and layout.  And in that area, the consensus is that they 
should not.  And it's as easy to create code that outputs divs as it is 
to create code that outputs table rows... I do it every day.

Here're a couple of css/xhtml-driven sites I work on: 
<a  rel="nofollow" href="http://www.beyond.org.uk";>http://www.beyond.org.uk</a> and <a  rel="nofollow" href="http://www.manh.com/";>http://www.manh.com/</a> .. I don't claim 
either is perfect, but I think they demonstrate that you don't need to 
resort to tables in order to get well-ordered web sites that look okay 
in different browsers (although, due to the nature of the beast, both 
are more tested in IE right now...)
