To respond more directly to your question: Yes you can get better tables with IPy if you remember to load a lib and call a function. With Beaker it just works by default. Ditto for sharing, Beaker has one-click sharing to the web built in, with IPy you have to load an extension. On the Mac, Beaker comes packaged as a native app that you just drag to Applications and the Dock.
