As you know, there is no alternative that can provide the other
functionality that people want (copy/paste etc), and we've already seen
that the grid can be significantly faster than the list.

I know you will say that the tool has only one purpose from your point
of view, but regardless of that, pgAdmin *is* a generic tool intended to
meet the needs of the majority of it's hundreds of thousands of users,
and that includes the query tool which many will be comparing with SQL's
Query Analyzer and similar programs. Having seen the grid work at more
than acceptable speeds, I see no reason that it cannot fulfill both use
cases once the bugs are ironed out. And that is precisely why it's in
SVN trunk and all the resulting snapshots etc.
