I admit excessive use of tables overly complicates the internal page structure, slows load times, and can create maintenance headaches... but after looking at some the webs most successful sites (craigslist, myspace, ebay, amazon, youtube, etc.) it is obvious that their use doesn't equal to a site's failure. Ripping a site apart for this is like criticizing a painter for his choice of canvas. It's time to start looking at the frontend & functionality again.

Perhaps another good evolution of design would be CNET. I like the comparison to how the sites were designed yesteryear and today. Perhaps another good evolution of design would be CNET.
