What problem does it solve for you?

It seems the first step here is to switch Markdown parsers. The commonmark library that is currently being used here has been deprecated in favor of markdown-it-py

Any update on this? The switch to markdown-it-py has been done, but Rich is still not able to render markdown tables...

It would be really useful.

Table support in Markdown has been merged and will be in the next release (today).
