then the critic of the article is valid again. Its just not fun to write a table in a plain text editor.

No, but there is fun ways to do it. when i used Latx a lot, i had an awk script that wrote the table in my file from a CSV. Also, now i think most data inspection tools (panda and mysql at least, probably others) spit their data in the terminal in markdown form, so its a cpy pasta anyway.
the only issue with markdown is image alignment. And to be honest, WYSIWYG editors are shit at this too. I'd rather not loose my time.

yes, for image alignment latex is best. Sometimes the result is not perfect, but at least you do not have to think about it.
