Scientists don't just work with matrices. They work with tabular data.
Here are some things you might want to do with tabular data:

- Take multiple datasets and mash them together somehow (joins)
- Sort your data
- Pivot axes
- Interpolate values from your tables
- Export data to csv, excel, xml, etc.
- Print data in a smexy format such as LaTeX, html, ASCII, etc.
