Easier to use table editing capabilities.
Editing tables with Markdown is just like a step back in time about 20 years ago! Evernote does this very well. I want to migrate from Evernote to Joplin, but I have a lot of tables to edit.
I hope Joplin can improve a lot in this regard.
How Evernote editing tables:

Hi, this is the same issue for me. I work with a lot of table where i use to put images, files, checks etc...
I want to migrate to Joplin but here tables are completly useless, you can't change the size of rows and columns and I'm not a programmer so i don't know (and want) to do with the code
Joplin is a note-taking app and I believe that Joplin's core purpose is to use Markdown to avoid proprietary formats. There are several plugins that can help with using tables in Joplin but I do not know whether any will help you in your use case.
Examples:
I moved to Joplin from Evernote as I was fed up with the formatting creating problems for me. It was possible to apply formatting to an Evernote note that was invisible and could not be removed without exporting the note, trying to track down amongst all the code and formatting tags what the problem was, manually editing it and then reimportring it. Even if you copied and pasted into a new note it took the broken formatting with it. I found Joplin had a simple formatting method (Markdown) and gave me complete control. Sure I lost some of the ability to use fancy formatting but I actually found that for note-taking I did not need it.
So it is probably not a good choice to select a Markdown-based note application if word-processor like features are vital. It's not that tables are "completely useless", they are just not what you are used to. As much as I like Joplin I will have to admit that Markdown has its limits and I personally can manage with those limits. However if a user really must have Evernote features they are probably better off using Evernote.
Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately Evernote beta for Linux will not supported anymore so I need to find an alternative on Linux, wich is not simple
