RE: DIV Tags
Are you sick of putting align in every tag just to get a page to lay out properly? And how do you feel about table hacks for positioning images? I thought so. Well, never fear - the <div> tag is here.
Although it's been around since HTML 3.0, <div> hasn't really caught on yet. It's pretty useful, though, and recommend you give it a try. It won't solve all your problems - you'll still have to use tables occasionally - but it works fine for formatting large blocks of text, images, and just about anything else that has an HTML tag around it. It's supported by Netscape Navigator 2.0+ and Microsoft Internet Explorer 2.0+, and is particularly effective when used with stylesheets.

RE: DIV Tags
Also, DIV tags allow you to lay out your page using CSS, which is beneficial because it allows you to separate your design from your content.
And then you can use CSS to style your whole page per medium. ie. have one CSS for computers, one for mobile devices, one for tv etc.
As technology gets better (and smaller), more and more people look to other devices to view web pages, so designing using DIV tags and CSS allows those users to see your page correctly.
