For me the answer is never. I went straight to a dive computer right out of OW and then later stumbled upon ratio deco/min deco which is what I use now.

well, I've been diving for more than 10 years but voted anyway ("I used tables until I got a computer, but no longer use them) as when I got certified in 1990, dive computers were starting to become readily/reasonably available.
I might not have bothered with a computer at home for awhile, since our usual routine was 2 dives on a weekend morning, fairly square profiles and we usually needed a shovel to get very deep. But it became quickly apparent that dive computers made an immense amount of sense for typical warm water multilevel repetitive diving. We rented computers on our first trip to Bonaire in 91, and bought our own soon after.
