a few reasons:
1) div is more semantically correct in most cases. people who code their sites in table structure aren’t using tables for what they’re made for, which is tabular data. divs represent a “division” or a section of the page, so putting items in divs is more correct.
2) divs are more flexible and easier to style and maintain. you don’t have to write
<table><tr><td>Text here</td></tr></table>every time you want to say something when you can just write<div>Text here</div>instead. you can add css hooks (ie, classes or elements) to both tables and divs, but with divs it is infinitely more flexible.3) table structured sites are just plain ugly 🙂
