I would strongly advise against KTable. Like you said it's old, and we
evaluated it thoroughly (well, I did) for our rather large-scale app at our
company and it was bug-ridden and problematic. I've actually evaluated it
twice, as we used it back in 2006 when it was still rather active (and we
still had issues then).

The Grid is great and works really well, Tom is updating it as well so it's
moving along. We used that for a while but unfortunately had issues using
the viewer as it can't do Virtual mode (yet).

Currently we use Nat table and I'm really liking it. It still has some bugs
but there's a whole team actively working on it, and just yesterday the
author sent me a new "core" after I reported a bug the day before.

I think it comes down to what you need to use it for. The grid is much
easier to use than Nat as Nat uses a rather non-SWT API.

And just as a reference, I wrote an article on using all 3 tables with
Glazed Lists that you may want to check out as it'll give you a little more
insight into the different table styles:
