I've not worked with Interface builder (and so NSTable view),  Delphi  
or VB but an Xplatform control like that which is much more more  
spreadsheet oriented and ideally supporting merging cells and  
freezing the top X rows and first X columns for scrolling would be  
great.

IMO  the lack of such a control is the biggest single hole in the RB  
framework. It's a hard control to create and get 'right' Xplatform  
and keep flexible at the same time, but it would make RB a much more  
powerful RAD tool and really needs to included and not a 3rd part  
plugin.

The Listbox is very flexible but it's heritage of being a finder like  
list often makes trying to use it as a sophisticated grid control a  
lot of work and ultimately a kludge.
