I have never used a data grid control that didn't end up with me having to dig deep into the code to add something custom that I needed, and just hit brick wall after brick wall. Especially React-based ones.
We don't need big libraries, we need to mix smaller libraries together that each do one thing well.
Like starting with a tutorial of how to build a data grid from scratch with suggestions of utilities to add along the way. Most people would avoid this because they see a library that does most of what they want and get a FOMO...but if they could only see the hours they will lose trying to customize it, they would have preferred to start from scratch. This has been such a constant experience for me with almost every framework/library in tech.
