completing-read can be more powerful, as it includes expanding text and
selecting items, but I if you are not interested in text-expansion you
should probably limit yourself to selection, so that everyone is ensured
to have the same presentation.

What do you mean by "niceness", and why would it not be able to support
more complex tables?
