Good question!  Several reasons:

1. Because it was "there" and I needed to clibm that mountain.
2. I wanted a grid control that would be native to Euphoria/Windows.
3. I could add whatever features I wanted to a custom written control.
4. Matt has done a good job so far with EuCom but if you look at the 
current trends in computer programming technology MS might soon abandon 
COM in order to push everyone to .NET.  My control uses standard windows 
apis which I doubt will go away any time soon.
