The best feature I like about datatable it's filter option which can be applied with very less code in html page itself rather than using js libraries or jquery plugins! Also we don't need much coding knowledge as well when working over this plugin because its pretty easy & simple!! Nothing at present but just wait more time before you start facing problems while usign such amazing product from google.
Its one stop solution where every thing related data management will come under same roof so there wont b confusion among users whether they want single column sortable tables etc.,.
