Much as I hate to... and I'm trying hard not to but ...yes "awkward to
use". Let me pick an example:
http://www.useit.com/alertbox/
That enormous list of previous columns is visually very difficult to
scan. It is chronological so if you are browsing for a particular date
your eye must go in and out of the jagged right edge. If you are
browsing for a subject the size of text minus enough line spacing,
interspersed with bold links (why they are bold is not made clear,
presumably popularity) and erratic descriptions. That data would surely
display much more logically in a table headed Name, Description, Date.
You could then scan down a column, e.g. for a date, much more rapidly
and it would encourage a description for each column.

unattractive, maybe... but awkward to use?
