yeah, true enough. in my experience tables aren't usually too bad (using the | formatting instead of raw html), but some of the formatting (e.g. code snippets) can be a little rough if you use straight jekyll without any plugins. if you use a turbo-charged system on top like octopress or something, it comes pre-baked with a lot of plugins that help take the pain out of the formatting (or just let you embed a gist url). usually still not perfect, but i'd say enough to put it on par with wordpress or one of the other systems, which in my experience also have tons of problems in that particular area.
