IMHO I think Datatable doesn't have a nice and clean interface. For example, you can't just do table.AddRow({col1:'newCol1', col2 : 'newCol2'});

It is not always very clear on what plugin you should use for paging or sorting, column reordering. Then it become heavy to save a state using methods from different pluging.

So could be a lot simpler.

Still the best open source free js table on the market on my knowledge.
