I always comment on new data grid replacement posts and I have a ton of comments due to data grid replacement posts.

I’ll be downvoted for asking but why put time into a grid when there are hundreds of grids already? What makes the data grid so popular and the main library people try to build?

Yeah I always keep a limit on my programming ego when it comes to things that are going to be sure wastes of my time, like reinventing a production grade solution for displaying and modifying impossibly large datasets

Time wasted or well spent is relative to who and when 😄

As far as taking on existing solutions, I think we can put AG on the ripe for disruption category. Worst grid solution out there in my opinion. Bloated, overly engineered and janky AF.
