I actually like tables myself and don't see them as being adversarial,
but I'm happy to contribute to the comparison in whatever form it
takes.

Having a matrix/table: a) focuses people on choosing a few important
dimensions to summarize and b) makes any holes in the comparison
matrix obvious so they can be filled in (which is much harder when
parsing text).
