What should replace them? tabulate and bTABLE if colors shows up again in table then it's as in tabulate now but i need some strong motivation for that The logic behind table (tables, and tabulate) differs greatly from that of bTABLE. Their use is different and one may be more natural than the other, depending on one's point of view. Both mechanisms have their legitimate place in ConTeXt. I see that tabulate is recommended (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Tables_Overview) and that table and tables are deprecated. I suppose that this is due to an internal re-write. What remains to be implemented in tabulate in order to fully replace table and tables? According to the wiki: vertical lines. The wiki is out-of-date, however, for in mkiv \VL is % present but not yet 100% ok So if tabulate is indeed to replace table and tables, perhaps they should be eliminated. For backward compatibility, perhaps starttable and starttables could be synonymes for starttabulate? Or perhaps I am missing something.

Tables has different spacing between the rows (\FL, \ML, etc.) than tabulate and you can span columns which isn’t supported by tabulate. What tables miss is the indent feature from tabulate in narrower environments and itemize.
