    At least when it comes to Stack Overflow, it doesn’t use tables for layout.

    Tables as layout are evil when they provide the layout for the whole site not selected parts of it.

    Stack Overflow, for instance, only uses tables for post (Questions and Answers) layout, as part of the page layout (which uses divs).
