In regards to gemtext limitations, we have to keep in mind that Gemini is a protocol. Gemtext is a markup language. You can serve whatever you like on Gemini -- HTML, markdown, etc. And you can also view your HTML content over Gemini with a client that supports HTML. As far as I can tell, most features that gemtext lacks had been discussed in the mailing list before, all of which, I'm pretty sure, alternatives or workarounds were suggested. I think this comment by Alex summarises it well:
> Everyone wants something added to Gemini but disagrees what that something is. Personally, I think it should be in-line images and footnotes, but if Gemini became more complex, it would lose many of the traits that make it interesting. Gemini is a technology that invites us not to try and improve or optimize it, but to accept it as it is and work around its limitations it is intentionally austere, and this is a feature, not a bug.

For me, I'm fine with not having inline images, footnotes, or maybe even syntax highlighting in preformatted text. But as to tables, yes, that could make it look better, and easier to copy contents, but it would lose its simplicity and ease of developing new software around it. If gemtext was to support a similar type of table syntax as markdown, for example, the table would look extremely broken for clients that do not support it. Unless it is put in a preformatted block, though in which case that wouldn't solve the problem of horizontal scrolling in small screens.

At the end of the day, the fact that I create and browse content in Geminispace every now and then does not mean I've decided to not use the web at all, nor does it mean that all of the good content is in Geminispace instead of the web. Like mozz said on Station:

You don't have to ditch the web to use Gemini. You get to choose what you write about, but you don't get to choose the color of your headers, or the font size of your body paragraphs. Go use the web if you want that.
