I’d really rather not get into a discussion about whether tables are bad or not. That wasn’t really the point of this post. Amazon and Google wouldn’t necessarily fit my definition of “Great Websites” here. However, they do help to prove the point I was trying to make in that the CSS/tables question isn’t exactly pivotal in the overall success of a website. I think all of these sites would be better served by a CSS layout but, again, that wasn’t the point

Amazon uses tables for layout, even the minimalistic design of Google uses tables for layout – CSS is good for a lot of things but at this point I feel that it’s not as flexible as it should be. Table-based designs take less work and are more predictable on browsers.
