I am sorry, there is not much I can contribute to this discussion.
I developed proced in 2008 when, I believe, tabulated list mode did
not yet exist.  In general, I am much in favor of not re-inventing
the wheel.  So even if tabulated list mode cannot yet provide all
the functionality that is useful for proced, it is probably better
if this is provided only once in tabulated list mode, and packages
like proced use it.  I will not miss the handcrafted solutions in
proced.
