>>>I agree with you in theory- they are klunky, but my users love grids for certain kinds of data entry - probably because they're like spreadsheets- so I bend over backwards to find ways to make them work.
>>>I never get them exactly right, but when I pose alternatives to grids, my users invariably say that they'd rather have the quirks than lose the grid.

>I had one user who loved to have exactly that kind of grid. The (internally) famous BWG page (big wide grid) had about 40 columns, as many rows as the resolution allowed, and wrote into four tables. He loved it.

You can even make it look like a grid, if your users are so inclined.
