Actually, not really. I completely disagree. The flex evangelists (there are many of them!) are really good at hyping up a product and not pointing out the limitations. Why should a datagrid crash when it is given data? Please enlighten me. I was in no way depending on the beta version for my final project. It is the non-beta (read: Paid-version) that is causing us so much grief!
