Useful, thank you for posting. Obviously, this isn't a user interaction that you want to use everywhere, but there are plenty of situations where editing individual fields via mini-modals like this will make lots of sense. For one thing, I can see where having this in the toolbox might enable one to bang out a fast admin-type view quickly--and sometimes being able to implement some relatively "utilitarian" view quickly is what lets you spend the proper amount of time on views that you want to implement more traditionally/fancily. The use of "links" to launch the little dialogs doesn't personally bother me for whatever reason. (Though I get that sometimes it's just preference--for instance I have always disliked the use of drop-downs as navigation controls, but re-purposing the link element as shown in these x-editable demos doesn't--not sure I can defend why).
