Tables is a great, elegant app. If you haven't tried it, you'll definitely want to.
As to the topic of CoreImage filters not being used: Has anyone thought about with what system version they were introduced? Many apps need to stay backwards compatible a couple system versions. My guess is you won't see much CoreImage added to apps until they feel they can ditch support for some of the older versions.
If you have to write special-case code for older Macs anyway, it's only more effort to also write a CI implementation. Moreover, you'll have half the testers for that code because some will run older Macs, some will run newer ones.
