i don't think that's what he's saying, but i've also noticed this "tables bad, divs good" nonsense for a while now.
in real world scenarios, it ends up being a mix. there is no way you can convince me that it's possible to do everything in divs without turning your html into an unreadable, complicated mess. either that, or your pages are mindlessly simple.
to rule out an entire set of objects because of some nonsense mantra is ludicrous.
i do what i can to keep to divs, but once it's clear that i have a fight on my hands, i start looking at tables. i'd rather focus my energy on the more important code.
p.s. and divs often don't behave the same across different browsers either! :shhh:
