Yeah, when we first began to brainstorm about a real table object, some people 
wanted just a simple row,column object where each column, row or cell could be 
formatted a certain way. Others asked for more complex things. What we got then 
was a programmable table object that a developer could code to do pretty much 
anything he wanted it to do. The datagrid library is like a new extension of 
Livecode Script. 

What I find however as with other languages I've dabbled in, is that I never 
need or use the full set of commands and functions, but only a subset of them 
as needed, and I become very familiar with those. I code out of necessity. :-) 
As a result I'm pretty good with tables, but customizing display based on data 
I haven't toyed with much, and form datagrids not at all.
