@lmika It definitely can be a hassle. I've been using the Advanced Tables plugin and linter to make sure that everything is pretty.
That being said, I haven't created any new tables in obsidian just edit the notes from imports from other applications.
@Cheri @mandaris I did try the Advanced Tables plugin briefly. I may give it another go as I get the sense that I didn't give it a fair shake. But I think the idea of keeping tables to a minimum is a good one. Would be hard to wean off them though: I tend to use them a lot when I'm working on wiki documents at work.
