Multicolumns and multiline row? Basically, yes. Note that dropping support for table.el tables in Org doesn't mean it is impossible to add them in an Org buffer: these tables are pretty much major mode agnostic. However, M-q will fill them, C-c ' will not edit them and export will have to be done by hand, using features explained in "table.el" comments. Regards,
