This is very appealing and I'll be using it by default (despite issues;
see below) as I often have long tables in my documents.

Some issues which may or may not be easily fixable or may require more
effort than is worth:

1. the header contents are placed at the leftmost column means the first
   row does not align with the table in two cases:
   1. when display-line-number-mode is active and/or
   2. when org-indent-mode is used.
2. the display of the first row does not have column widths adjusted and
   so the entries do not line up if the table itself has adjusted column
   widths (C-c TAB).

Thank you.
