we're using it to infinite scroll / sort / filter a table with 3.2M rows of data and it 'just works'
I'm reminded of old books that were various number sequences for checking calculations. Clearly somewhat useful, but incredibly niche and seems to lose to other tools rather quickly.
Imagine having such a terrible UX while editing a large source code files, the editor loads only 20 lines then you need to click a button or scroll down to load the next 20 lines, search would also be slow since it would do a request to the backed.
Sorry again if I missunderstood your comment, its not super clear to me what was your point.
I shared his original article with bunch of UX people and most of them had said they learned a lot from it.
Just give me my local spreadsheet app. Your web UI is never going to come close to that speed and functionality.
I understand that might not fit every use case, but I guess that any user unwilling to use a local spreadsheet will not be interested in the the 'big data' of the complete, large table. In that case, cut the large table to a small one, appropriate to your platform and users, and provide a link for the data scientists to download the full thing.
