Yes, I've said that many times. Glad it's finally
sunk in. That's a sufficient reason that it should
not have been used in things like the bookmark list.
(Even adding it to buffer-menu was a mistake.)

A more important weakness of t-l-mode is that it
doesn't support arbitrary sort functions - it
doesn't make it easy to sort other than by an
individual column.

To me, t-l-mode is too limited for most real,
useful uses of "tabular" data. It should never
have been imposed on the bookmark list (I don't
use it in Bookmark+). And it's useless for
things like Dired (thank goodness). Maybe the
same for Ibuffer; dunno.
