Zachariah, Thanks for the word of encouragement! Do you have any feedback/ lessons learned from your application? I've made a lot of progress recently in terms of adding a DataView to drive the grid and optimizing the core loop, but formalizing the API and writing the documentation haven't been moving very fast. Unfortunately, without that documentation, a lot of people seem to be dismissing it at first glance without realizing what makes SlickGrid different.
