I don't know that they're all _that_ evil, but I don't like them much, for 
what it's worth.  On the other hand, without them, you have to get your hands 
really dirty really quickly.

It might be worth it to keep the tables, and just play with the basic-ish 
formatting stuff for now until you get the hang of selectors and specificity, 
and then aim for bigger and better (and exponentially more annoying) things 
like the box model, and floats, and positioning.
