Perhaps this is heretical, but I always thought PmWiki's simple tables
were dead easy. (But then, I think Word's tables are easy; I can make
them sit up and beg, while several others I know swear at them.) My
point of comparison is raw HTML, and its table syntax is just yucky.

I've never watched a newbie use simple tables.
