Well. ADG. I can honestly say, the only time I ever used it, was indirectly, as the Ilog Gantt Chart was based on the Advanced Data Grid. I was just aware that there wasn't a Spark version of the ADG and that many people have mentioned that the MX version was a little buggy.
I think maybe the Spark data grid would be fine...as long as it allows the expandable tree in the first column. I am a noob and am actually stuck with MX only as I cannot afford IBM Ilog Elixir Enterprise (the version that runs on flex 4...$3200 plus deployment costs as compared to the $800 I paid for Ilog Elixir, pre IBM that works with the Flex 3 SDK). It does seem Flex 3 is a good bit simpler than Flex 4 and I am curious, if you don't mind offering your opinion, how much of the complexity of Flex 4 was simply to chase Adobe's dream of Flash Catalyst and how much was really a necessary change to make Flex better? How different is Flex 4 from Flex 3? I have done some mobile work in Flex 4.6 and it seems quite similar, but I have read that it is quite different and I wonder if all I am learning working with Flex 3 and Ilog is wasted or most will transfer over to Flex 4?

Which features in particular would you like to see implemented? Locked rows and columns, and sorting multiple columns was finished and the code is in my whiteboard but haven't been moved to the sdk yet. Carol
