Yep, MOST is in. But for example not moving order or renaming columns. How  
stupid is that, to rename a columns by creating a new one, copying the  
data and then deleting the old one, just to find it then in the end of all  
columns without the possibility to change that?
And to newbies it is NOT obvious by any means that they have to install  
the Table Manager to be able to do so.

Sure there must be good reasons why those functions didn't make it into  
core so far (maybe also the long existence of the Table Manager plugin?)

Sorry, didn't want to high jack this thread for my personal favourite ;)

Over and out
