What is your text editor of choice?
I've always used latex, but recently I found that quarto (from posit) is quite comfy if you routinely uses R or Python. You just make a good YAML header and there's little reason to use anything else. It's also nice that it can output simultaneously pdf, docx and even the .tex code. This is quite useful if you work with people who are still using word/gdocs. The only issue I've seen thus far are tables. Making simple ones are easy, but if you want something more customized it's kinda ass - doable, but kinda ass.

I just want a simple table editor. Not spreadsheet for calculation.
Something that supports sorting. Multi-line. Wrapping long entries. Think wikipedia’s tables.
Many kinds of information are organized as lists and tables. But the support on stuff like obsidian is still poor. I think it’s the insistence of these modern programs of making everything underneath as readable plain text, markdown-flavored. Making certain features clunky to implement.

Line-wrapping in markdown tables is a super difficult computer science question. Basically P vs NP level. That’s why no program can do that.

The list-table from python’s docutils/restructuredtext would work better as the underlying representation for that kind of purpose.
