For those who would admit it, 80% of modern design time is taken up by cursing and spending all day trying to fix a bug that would make your site not work well in some browser like I.E and maybe trying to fix that broken or tag and actually spending about 10% of actual time doing the real job. I gave up on tables completely at least 2 years ago and much as I know many web developers use them, I would encourage them to move on, the benefits are worth it.

I'm afraid it's about the same everywhere. My prediction would be that while there are around 10 active W3C-compliant developers in Estonia, the number of developers capable of tableless design falls somewhere near that 5% you estimated for the websites in UK.

Here in the UK, I would take a rough guess that around about 5%, if that of new sites are developed without tables (except for tabular data). Dreamweaver is the favorite tool of professional web agencies here.
