Well, not really inferior when considering capabilities like those offered by natural tables. But concerning the final output, yes. And unfortunately, tables are very important for my next project. When I think of a hundred-or-so-pages document with many floats, using latex - I thought I would never have to go through this again. And I simply can't imagine anymore living with things like context's float placement, metapost tricks, hanging punctuation, great support for crazy feature request, etc. To be honest, I even thought of including latex tables as figures generated from inline code... -- Eckhart
