Well Grid uses a html <table> to work, yes. The point is when working with
UiBinder you can use normal HTML markup to make a widget, so you can do:
<g:HTMLPanel>
<table>
<tr>
<td>Name</td><td><g:TextBox ui:field="nameText"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Phone</td><td><g:TextBox ui:field="phoneText"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</g:HTMLPanel>
Jeff: I guess it reduces DOM complexity, and improves performance (almost
certainly negligible in most cases, unless your widget is large and needs to
be created many times over) In any case, I'm not saying this approach is
better or worse than using Panels, its just the approach I take.
The obvious disadvantage is that its a static table, you can't really modify
it at runtime easily. If you need a dynamic table, Panels/FlexTable/Grid are
more suited.
