So multiline rows doesn't matter. We can collapse columns to not take
up too much horizontal space in buffers via <NUM>. Long lines work out
of the box in ox-html and can easily be had via e.g. p-columns in
ox-latex. No idea about ox-ascii or ox-odt.
Multicolumns would be very nice to have in Org-tables. I'm not at all
how feasible this is, though. . .
Thus, the only feature we'd lose by dropping tabel.el is multicolumns.

Sure. Same with org-table...

Meh, they don't follow org-export-· and org-BACKEND-· anyway (I checked
this a while ago, maybe things changed). . . If the previous statement
is correct, I don't know if Org really supports exporting them. . .
Anyway, that's just my €0.02.
