RBD RUI has a primitive grid widget hurting sales

I am a tech sale, I present RBD alot. We fail to demo RBD with RUI. Since the RUI grid widget is very primitive. The expected functionality is ease of use as in JSF. Data binding with services and records using GUI.
Selling RBD as a RUI builder is not effective. Too much hand coding. While JSF is mostly GUI design and binding.

    column-level customization, support for cell editing, and more.

    A much-improved grid widget has been published on EGL Cafe as a sample. In the next release we hope to enhance it so that it is robust enough to be shipped in the product as a first class (supported) widget rather than just a sample.
