What do you mean with "Cut, delete of cells and area"? If you are not breaking the cell structure so it can not be rendered anymore you can implement almost every action you want to add to your NatTable instance. We have a concept of action bindings in combination with key and mouse events that let you specify behaviour.

Internally we perform automated tests quite technical. A collegue of mine is working on implementing SWTBot tests for NatTable on a user level and will write about that in the next months when he is done.

The NatTable is internationalized. Currently we only have an English and a German properties file in core. Any help on adding additional languages is appreciated. But for context menu items it is also possible to set the menu item texts to whatever you want. The content of the table you have to specify yourself, so if it should be internationalized you need to take care of that yourself.

"Performance"
You won't find another table/grid widget out there that has better performance than NatTable! Smile

What kind of listener would you like to have? Adding a listener to every cell itself is not working and IMHO wouldn't be a good design choice in terms of memory and performance when talking about really large tables. But e.g. for selection you can add an ILayerListenerto the NatTable instance that only gets active if the ILayerEvent is of type CellSelectionEvent. PropertyChangeEvents should be handled in the DataLayer and not in the cell which is meant to be the visual representation.
