It is these standards that have enabled me to build my Web site using CSS for all the layout.

Creating a site that is based upon <a href="http://www.w3c-standards.com" rel="nofollow">W3C Standards</a> using XHTML and CSS is the only way to go ahead. Sadly as you have written there are lots of people out there that are still using tables, frames etc. to create said sites. These are the people that should take a long look at what they are doing and then go back to school and start learning the new way. It is very hard to get people to re-think their methods as they have been creating sites for many years and they work. So why the change? An easy simplified answer is Accessibility, Usability and a general clean-up. I think that the majority of designers / developers would like to be taught correctly.

That is, those that haven't already, and I'm glad to see more and more of them do so these days. Google. Another vote for seeing Google stop being such a jerk and get their act together. They don't have to magically convert to valid markup and CSS or anything, but some basic semantics and the like would go a long way already. The WAI. Yes, they know all about CSS and semantics and such already, but seriously, WCAG 2.0 is a horrid mess and it's counter-productive to the entire Web Standards movement.
