While I agree with what you wrote, you could of course argue that a 3-column layout, like the one Geeklog uses, can be seen as some form of tabular data.

So, yes, it's a good idea to avoid tables for purely layout purposes but you shouldn't avoid them at all costs. The resulting <div> soup that can be found on some sites is often worse than a handfull of carefully placed tables. IMO, of course.

Yes, I agree. Many think you have to eliminate tables completely and this is not the case either. When a person wants to display something the right tag should be used and and in some cases it means a table. Many people though including me still use them solely for layout. My reason is because it's still easier and not all the div attributes such as min-width have been implemented in all browsers.
