 That's not really the case (it is similar enough to the native wxListCtrl
to make you forget that it's not one, really, which is irksome) but it
could be corrected.

 Yes.

 FWIW I definitely agree with using wxDataViewCtrl, I just was trying to
describe the possibilities. As I see it now, wxDataViewCtrl is better than
wxListCtrl because all the cells (and not just the first one) need to be
editable and it's better than wxGrid because of the reasons you gave and,
equally, importantly, I don't think we need any wxGrid-only features (such
as overlapping/merged cells) here.
