"For example, I have developed professional ASP.NET solutions almost every day for at least 5 years and still havn't delivered a single one (well maybe one or two in the beginning) using the datagrid/gridview."

"while using a repeater instead of a datagrid also will give us the flexibility to use whatever HTML markup we want (maybe tableless using divs)"

Tables are fine when they are displaying tabular data, which incidentally is what DataGrid/GridView are for as well. People here "tables are bad" and apply that to everything. Tables for layout are bad.

I fully agree with you eggs when you say -like "Tables for layout are bad, tables are fine for displaying tabular data". No doubt. I do it all the time. But even in those scenarios I don't use the datagrid but a repeater. I get control over table rendering as well. Example when that is good is if you want to apply some custom CSS, for example look at another article I wrote.
http://www.aspcode.net/asprepeater-and-css-table-gallery.aspx

Another reason for me not wanting to use the datagrid is not about the rendering, but rather the lack of control when everything is baked into the framework control. As I said, I don't mind coding, but hey, that's me :)
