I've used it successfully with the GridView.

With the GridView paging and sorting (already "built in"), it is the best
thing going.

Now, I'm only using it for READONLY data. I have not used an
ObjectDataSource for inserting or editing.

My rule of thumb:

Fast development does not mean Good development.
And the Sql alternative for the ObjectDataSource is meant for fast
development, get it out quick.

For any significnat project, I wouldnt touch the SqlDataSource option.
