I really like DataView object in Ext 2.0 as well as the improved GridView/GroupingView. There are some features in the DataView object that I'd like to see incorporated into the grid, such as the loadingText and emptyText parameters [and the nice little whirly loading graphic].
I'd like to see DataView and Grid combined into a single hybrid object which could be linked to a data source and easily switched between a standard grid display and a custom HTML template, similar to the "View as...(icons|details)". This could be simulated currently by generating both into a cardLayout, but it would take a lot of code to handle all the events and keep both components sychronized. Ideally in a hybrid object the current view mode would otherwise be transparent to the object's underlying code.
