Scott:

I agree with you - datagrids are powerful, complex structures and come with
a cost.  They're a great tool for sure and I use them a lot when I need
their functionality, especially if I need to include option menus,
checkboxes, or any other column customizations.  But I'm increasingly
starting to use scrolling lists and table fields when all I need is to
present a simple list of data for the user to select from and display more
information or carry out some action on the selected line.

It feels like there's room for another type type of control that goes a bit
further than basic tables but not as complex as datagrids, kind of a
datagrid-lite.
