The feature of remove/add cell is quite important. Should be a feature
request.
Another important feature request is to split cells.
Example (copying and paste the example above)
Example:
I have the following table:
| 1 | 1 |
| 2 | two words|
| 3 | 4 |
| 4 | |
Now I want to split cell @2$2 and thus move the second part to the
following cell below in column 2 down one step.
After:
| 1 | 1 |
| 2 | two|
| | words|
| 3 | 4 |
| 4 | |
I do it several times when I put much comments on an entry and the column
becomes much wider.
It is several commands (sometimes with rectangles, sometimes not depending
on the remaining of the table) .
Is there an easy way to do this?

Hi Daniel
Yes, there is:
1) M-<down> to add the new line
2) mark the region from "t" down to any char from the field below
3) M-Ret
The opposite direction is:
- C-u M-Ret to join the content of a field to the one above
See also C-h f org-table-wrap-region for more tricks.

Thank you very much!!!
Just one point
In my case at least M-<down> does not insert a new line!
From the comment of the key sequence:
----------------------------------------------
org-metadown is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `org.el'.
(org-metadown &optional ARG)
Move subtree down or move table row down.
Calls `org-move-subtree-down' or `org-table-move-row' or
`org-move-item-down', depending on context. See the individual
commands for more information.

^^^^^^^^^
Yes, my fault. Corrigendum:
1) M-S-<down> to add the new row
2) mark the region from "t" down to any char from the field below
3) M-Ret
