Believe it or not, I really don’t care much for them
either --- I can see how tables could be downright
frightening to newbies hitting edit. However, tables
are often necessary, sometimes vital, to presenting
data in a logical and easy to follow manor. This is
especially true for the elements articles and for
presenting taxonomic data in organism articles. So I
view tables as being a necessary evil to get things
done.

With that said…. 

I have recently submitted a feature request for a
<wiki table> syntax that would greatly simplify table
markup and not be intimidating to newbies.   

Please add additional ideas to the sourceforge
tracker.
