Humble is about writing HTML tables, not database tables! :-)

I haven't tried developing MSI installers, so haven't experienced the horror.

One more area where I saw tables used for describing processes was keyword driven testing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyword-driven_testing Didn't have enough experience with it so don't know if it is also horrific...

Sure, but in my experience the challenge of describing imperative instructions with tabular data (in general) makes the Object/Relational problem look one-dimensional.
