I fully agree with you. I find replacing built-in vanilla object classes
a rather bad habit and quite confusing. I don't see a valid reason for
doing that.
Since one needs to load 'gridflow' anyway to use GridfFlow, why not
simply put a Gridflow specific print object when needed?

Yeah, I cannot understand that either.
Too bad there are also other examples of libraries replacing built-in
classes around (e.g. zexy). Also too bad we both seem to disagree with
whom I consider the most Pd-savvy developers in the community.
