A cell renderer for an object path is reusable, whereas with using a
label function you have to create a new function for each path. It may
be over the top for this particular case, but it's a "once and done" thing.
Example:
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Department"
columnName="user.department" />
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Primary Role"
columnName="permissions.role.primary" />
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Username" columnName="user.username" />
All 3 of the above columns can use a single "label with a path" cell
renderer, as opposed to having to create 3 different label functions to
return the different paths individually. In a small project this
probably isn't a big deal (maintaining a long list of label functions),
but in a large project it could get cumbersome quickly.
I agree that labelFunction is easier to create, but easiest isn't always
best. :-)
