I think it is not used very often now. The <div> tag is more popular and more useful, because this tag is used for responsive web design. If necessary, the <div> tag can also be represented as table using display:table.

@tobi emma, well, this knowledge will not be superflous, in my opinion. We don't know what projects and which customers we will have in the future...

You can use them but personally I would avoid them for page layouts. Tables are meant for data and not navigation.

Nowadays you use flexbox or css grid which allows for great fluid and responsive layout. Table is really only needed if you are using it to draw actual tables (datasets, data sheets).
