ConTeXt has a whole bunch of possibilities to typeset tables. Not each provides everything you may need, and the older ones are deprecated.

no setup for heights and widths (???)
WRONG! in \setupTABLE or after \bTD you can say [width=5cm,height=3cm] (although there may be some weird cases where this fails from some unknown reason)
still experimental, nearly no documentation
