I use to use it all the time. But there are a few problems I've encountered so I don't use it at all anymore. A few of the problems are:
1. CFGRID doesn't allow wrap around. This isn't a problem if your columns are very short. But it's difficult for users to manipulate data if they have to scroll within the column to see it. 2. CFGRID would not allow my DHTML menus to show up in front. So if there was a grid on the page, you couldn't see some parts of the menu. 3. When I upgraded to CF5, none of the grids wanted to work anymore. We had all kinds of Java issues. If I remember correctly, there are also issues with how dates and numbers can be formatted in the columns. All in all, I've gone to just using tables which provide a much nicer display for the user. The grids were a great way to get started. But as I've learned more about CF and coding in general, I've found that the grids were too limiting. It would be great if those limitations could be addressed in a future release.
