Default cross stitch lovers: to grid or not to grid?

What's your verdict on Aida: cheap and ugly, or a decent fabric for our stitching?

Aida has its uses. I use it for patterns that don't use a lot of
partial stitches, for whimsical designs and for those where you don't
see the background fabric at all. I mean, what purpose does it serve to
use that nice fabric and then cover it all up?

And there *is* cheap aida and quality aida.

If worries can cure your sickness, prolong your life, or replace
happiness, then go ahead and worry! If they can't, why worry?

Enjoy every moment of your life...there is no second chance.
