Well, it's not only tables: if you take a look at the html you will see also the center tag, deprecated attributes like align and valign, inline styling etc. Hacker News is very far from what is nowadays used for building (by hand or automatically) web pages. Yet, it works, so this might be the final answer.

Why Hacker news uses tables?
I had a quick look at the html of hacker news and saw tags that reminded me of how we made web pages 10 years ago. Why is this? Any particular rationale or just the good old 'if it works, don't fix it'?
