Tables are not being deprecated.

Using tables as a layout tool is frowned upon though. Tables should be used 
for tabular data, not for layout.

Of course, you can[1] use display: table-cell and its kin to achieve the 
same effect

[1] By which I mean "you will be able to when browsers commonly support" etc.
