I would not say tables are forwards compatible.
If you are a company (at least in the UK) and your website does not meet
accessibility guidelines you can be reprimanded.
Table based layouts are one of the best ways to make non-accessible
websites. Sticking to proper semantic and styling via CSS is one of the
best ways to ensure your website /is/ accessible.
So while tables may be forwards compatible in how your website looks to
a visual renderer, that's not the only target....
Just my €0.02
