Grid vs. Table

[eugenparaschiv]

Now that the Grid has made is appearance, what is the official view on the usage of Table vs Grid. Is Grid to replace Table (not taking into account backwards compatibility of course) or are there circumstances where Table is more suited than Grid. I ask this because of the obvious similarities of the two, and because it seems that Grid is just a better table.
Any thoughts on this? Preferably from people who are working with both, so that the comments have relevance.
Thanks.
Eugen.

I believe Table will be first class support for Widgets and Grid will be first class data support (with grouping/summary/editing etc) - there are some technical limitations that prohibit adding widget support to grid that may result there always being the two.

Even the GWT team are struggling with how to build a better grid that also quickly renders and supports widgets (inserting mass widgets into the DOM is slow) - what is needed is some widgetToHTML renderer which doesn't exist.
