Multimarkdown tables are fairly straightforward, no? From a blog post about the linear typewriters last year, a simple table (unformatted because I'm lazy.)
input file | my score | article score | ratio

stripped.txt | 5262321 | 5499341 | 95.7%
s2.txt | 5510008 | 5499341 | 100.2%

And that's just two lines of four columns - I've got blog posts with 20 lines of 5 columns. It would be heartbreaking to type that in.
I vastly prefer adoc's tables because I don't need to concern myself with aligning anything to figure out what's what.
A fair concern. For me it doesn't work because the table headers aren't laid out the same way as the rows and that's just two ways of confusion.
