I'm mostly using PHP, so the tables provide me with easy and well usable layout design. And most importantly, they work with any browser I've tried.

PHP has nothing to do with it. Semantic markup (i.e. "not using tables for layout" among other things) is suggested because it degrades properly, which is good for things like screen readers, mobile browsers, etc. It's also a hell of a lot more bandwidth-friendly, it cleans up the markup a lot, and it's easier to restyle later without having to touch the markup. Things like CSS Zen Garden show the real capabilities of CSS and it's hard not to appreciate how much more elegant it is.
