Subject: What to use for tables with lengthy text in cells?

I have a project which will require me to enter about a paragraph in each
of 5 fields several times a day. I would use org tables, but I need to be
able to see the table contents in the buffer, and org hides long lines. I
tried using table.el but it feels incredibly clumsy - for instance, I can't
find a way to add a row to the end of the table, which seems crazy.

I am wondering  what other people do in this situation - I guess I could
use a spreadsheet or an odt document but I would much rather stay in emacs
if I can.

Thanks as always,
Matt
