>>A problem with grids also is that consistancy of function is difficult to maintain within a large application. Often I have had situations where editing directly on the grid made a heckuva lot of sense for some data but not for others. It's hard to tell a user...OK, you can edit on this grid but not on that one.

Agreed. No editing, and if still yes, then through shortcut menu only.
