Well that is very much still a feature, and I'm not going to bother 
teaching my programming kids about
datagrids as:

1. As has been pointed out by various people who know better than me, 
they are horribly clunky and
need to be replaced.

Just learning the commands for fooling around with them is more trouble 
than it is worth for the
sake of messing around with a spreadsheet.

2. Importing a TAB and/or COMMA delimited text file exported from 
LibreOffice Calc or (heavens above)
Microsoft Excel into a field with the Table props set is "quite the thing".
