E.g. Irsa.list_catalogs(full=True)or Irsa.query_sia() currenlty returns a DALResultsTable as well as e.g. Alma.query_tap also returns a DALResultsTable.
I don't think this is useful for the astroquery users, and thus propose to add the to_table() or to_qtable() in the astroquery code and thus return astropy Table or QTable, out of the box.
What do you think @keflavich and @andamian
If the VO output is thought to be useful, then we can still provide access to it by an opt-in kwarg instead of returning it by default for everything.
