Hmmm this isn't srictly true. It's a React library after all, and React is the rendering "engine" here. Even their description says: "Hooks for building lightweight, fast and extendable datagrids for React". Therefore React is taking care of rendering. I think what they really mean by "It doesn't render it for you" is that you have to implement the rendering functions for the Table, which is more just like providing a UI plugin that has no "default" (but I'm even assuming React Table does have a simple default, so it's basically just an extensible UI plugin).

Yep! You're getting it now! Take a look at the examples and see just how easy it is to spin up your own table with React Table :)
