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.

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The wiki is out-of-date, however, for in mkiv \VL is "% present but not yet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.

They are useful. 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
