There is no accounting for taste, or the lack thereof.
I have *never* found tables to be a pain in the anywhere,
in LaTeX. Page 64 of Lamport's book makes everything crystal
clear. Whereas I wouldn't touch Excel with a sterilised
barge pole. For anything.
Fortunately freedom of choice prevails; except insofar as
the MicroSoft monopoly forces the rest of us to use the MS
junk ``because everybody else does''.
cheers,
