Performance with large datasets (would really like horizontal scrolling optimized same way as vertical) Footers, locked rows, right locked columns. Sure the above have loose solutions on the net but they are all understandably buggy and lack the testing from something official that the Flex team would release. Specific bugs can be found on JIRA, there are many issues, and to be frank its not exactly a secret that quality of ADG is not on par with DG; even Deepa alluded to this. It's a complicated product no doubt but there is room for improvements if resources were available. http://dougmccune.com/blog/2009/02/08/analyzing-the-size-of-the-flex-framework-or-why-i-hate-the-advanceddatagrid/ I would buy a 3rd party grid simply not to have to wait for official Flex releases and to see an actively developed product with frequent updates and fixes. I realize Flex team is busy with Flex 4 and that's where priorities lie. It's nice that there is an alternative for Charting (IElixr) and it would be great to see one for grids as well.
