Default Tables in XHTML, why are they hated so?

right guys, why on earth are tables hated so much? Ok we can do most of it in CSS but sometimes, when you just want a quick layout for a specific bit of content, ie prices or something. Its so much easier to code it in html.

I know that strict xhtml is supposed to be content only, i.e. Markup., but its still a million times easier to insert a table with x rows, y cols, z width, than it is to set it out in css.

I know the flaming is coming, I keep away from tables because I know people dislike them, but i dont know why?!

Sad i know, but a designer mate asked before and other than the strict markup explanation i cant see the problem.
