I've been using org-mode for about a year and I haven't got a clue what you're talking about.

  I've been using it for quite a while longer than that, and I'm still discovering new functionality on a regular basis. If you're unfamiliar as yet with tables and source blocks in org-mode, you're missing out on a fair bit that might be of use to you. Tables support a wide array of functionality that normally requires a dedicated spreadsheet tool or custom code, and inline evaluation of source blocks enables a wide array of functionality around exploratory and literate programming. I use both almost daily, and the quality of the results and the speed with which they're produced regularly astonishes my colleagues, who are not familiar with such powerful tools and the capabilities they confer. (And lest I be perceived as bragging in this last claim, let me hasten to note that I'm not talking up myself - I'm no blazing fireball in the brains department, and as serious Emacs users go I'm barely more than a tyro - but rather talking up the amazing things which even someone barely more than a tyro can achieve with org-mode, and the efficiency with which such a person can do so.) Take a quick look, if you care to, at the relevant [1] sections [2] of the manual. Perhaps you'll find these tools useful! And if not, then at least you'll have some better idea of the superpowers which rest at your very fingertips, should you in future find yourself with a need to lay your hands upon them.
