I agree that tables are not great, but figures? Seems to work pretty well, better than word for sure.

I still find it easier to align tables with numbers in TeX on the decimal point than in anything else.

How is this even achieved with HTML or Word?

Eg. variable width numbers like

           4.53
          13.98765
           7
  -1,000,234.76
Not perfect in TeX either, but at least possible.
