CSS & tables

I know of no better place to ask. This may not be strictly a PHP issue, but... I am busting my hump trying to format rather large input pages with CSS and trying to avoid tables; but it looks to me like I am wasting my time as positioning with CSS seems an impossibly tortuous exercise. I've managed to do some pages with CSS, but I feel like I am shooting myself in the foot or somewhere... Perhaps I am too demanding. I know that with tables, the formatting is ridiculously fast.
