I have to disagree on Tables having a steep learning curve, with the possible exception of the structured referencing functionality (which can be turned off) though to most even that is not difficult to understand. I believe it is not difficult to learn how to use tables Tables, and they are extremely effective in what they do. The drop-down sort and filter capability, and column headers that roll to the top as you scroll down a long table. How are they "unintuitive"?
