Well with the world moving towards mobile display compatibility people are generally depreciating tables in favor of grid-systems via CSS because they are more customizable for formatting tables intelligibly on smaller displays. Tables don't collapse or reformat properly on small screen and what you'll get is usually multiple columns with one letter on each line while grid-systems can stack columns making it both more legible and organized. CSS grid-systems of course require more work but you can generally find them already integrated into frameworks like bootstrap. Even still if you have complex table formats it'll require more customized situational grids than generalized grid-systems but in most cases bootstrap grids works fine. However I have had times when I have tables with minimum copy and mostly icons so we opted for tables because even on small displays it collapsed just fine as opposed to grids which left a lot of empty space.
