Table cells by default grow to fit the content. This shrink to
fit can be seen as a built-in intelligence. That is why you don't
see so much content spilling out (and even messing up other
things outside the table) as in badly made non-table layout.
But that does not mean it is a desirable thing *on balance* to
layout with tables. There are arguments that override the pros
for tables as layout for non tabular data as a general authoring
practice.
