Hi Neal,
Most our controls have a render, which is the best compromise between the render size
and provided functionality. For example, we can't stop providing a table layout for ASPxEditors;
doing otherwise would restrict the text editors functionality because of native input processing
of IE bugs.
However, for some other controls render size reduction could make sense. We've already thought
about changing the ASPxMenu table render with a list render. I've created a suggestion in the
Support Center S30349, to reduce the render size for all our ASPx-controls. You can track it,
but I'm afraid this isn't a priority task for the forthcoming 8.3 release.
