I really can't believe no one has suggested this but a native table support is a must!

Or you could explain why the hesitation over several years or confirm it's seriously being considered for say 2.1If it's still in the "XenForo suggestions" forum then it's still open for consideration in the future. Not a lot more to say than that.
Seems like XF would have to translate BB code back and forth all the time. Doesn't that tell you maybe it's time to port XF native format to HTML instead of BB code? Seems inevitable. Understand it's a major re-architecture, but seems like it would get you a lot closer to modern content management systems, allowing folks to have Xenforo only sites, and not have to mess with WordPress for fuller-feature content. Would love to see XF3 take on CMS head on (E.g. introduce the concept of a "content page" without all the chrome of a post, with discussions below). Tables are a small part of that much broader capability, but a critical step to even consider hosting content in XF for content-focused sites.Remember, the editor generates HTML and then we have to convert it to BB code. Similarly we then have to convert it back to HTML.
Addon's for bbcode can be trouble over time. If not continually supported over years the posts with the addon bbcode will be messed up.You can add tables and html right now using this add on, not tried the html part yet though.
