tables are good for single file sites and simplicity as well as stuff like schedules, divs are good for fine tuning and absolute positioning.

plus this was more to give information to those who dont know how to use either, so they know what they should learn.

Other than that yes, divs are superior and it's easy to make a table-like layout. Now, if we want to make it similar in structure (talking about the basic structure here):
[html]<table>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>[/html]
we can make the following div layout:
[html]<div>
<div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
</div>
<div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
</div>
</div>[/html]
And use some CSS:
Code:
div > div {
overflow: auto;
}
div > div > div {
float: left;
width: 33%;
}
div > div > div:last-child {
width: 34%;
}
Edit: forgot a ; in the css :S

But even then I'm not so sure there's much of a noticable difference. The only reason why divs are so much more popular is their standardization or whatever you want to call it. They work the same way in nearly every browser, whereas tables can differ.
