I went through the same deal as you did at work. Lucky for me I was in my intro to scripting class about the same time I started my internship. I was the only one who stuck to table-less layouts and everyone always joked around about how much longer it took me to slice down a site and build it in html / css. The learning curve on table design is much shorter but in the long run CSS driven layout is so much stronger. Now, Shane and I have gotten the rest of the office to ditch tables (for the most part) and stick with the right way of doing things.

I know I keep opening old projects and get a shiver or two from where I used to be. Anyway, I didn't know about the display: table option, I can't see why there would be a problem with using it since display: table is purely a rendering option and not part of semantic markup... it seems like it'd be no different than choosing a red background or a yellow border. Of course, if the majority of your users or customers use IE7, then you'll have to have some sort of contingency layout for them, since it's only supported in IE8+ Stephen King’s: It?
