CSS vs TABLES

I love this guy. Having spend at least 2 hours on trying to figure out (once again, will I ever learn?) how to position an element with CSS instead of TABLES I did a google search on why CSS sucks and landed on this magical site. The author speaks me from the heart. There are many benefits of CSS but there is a point where you have to stop wanting to go "all the way" with it. Because HTML was at one point a language that was readable and structured! CascadingStyleSheets can - if positioning and tag-raping (like using uls to display table-like structures) is not used across the place - help you. No doubt. And I love it when it comes to controlling how things look like but NOT where I position my elements.
Here and there, I admit to use CSS to even do that. But look at our navigation header. It took me about 15 minutes to do it with table. Can you do it in that time (having it work across browsers btw) in CSS? Please, I challenge you to. Maybe I'm getting old and lame.
