    Talking about the downsides of Markdown: it's not that you can't use Markdown without tables. Since there is not just one Markdown flavor, there are variants such as this one which do define table support and more. This introduces other difficulties to users of Markdown. For example, you need to know what kind of Markdown is supported with your current tool-set. In my business life, we do use a tool-chain to generate documents via Markdown, pandoc and pp (I'm not sure if the correct link is this or that). Using that, I may use even two different kinds of Markdown tables with different syntax and different features for formatting. I guess I don't need to explain much more on that to emphasize that this is a complicated thing to write and maintain since editing tools do not seem to support Markdown tables at all or they only support only one kind of Markdown table and not all of them. It's a big mess that the original authors or Markdown could not foresee and later, nobody could fix it so far although there is CommonMark which tried to fix it but it didn't stick much.
