When we develop an ALV report in "classic" ABAP - as I call it nowadays 
- it is possible to move columns around manually, just by drag & drop. Also hiding/unhiding columns in an ALV in classic ABAP is just a matter of right mouse click and select hide or show. Once you are satisfied with the layout, you can save it as a user or standard layout. Within our company users are very happy with these features, especially the column drag & drop feature.
However, when building an ALV report in Web Dynpro for ABAP we don't have these 2 features, at least I cannot find any documentation on how to achieve this. I know it is possible to change and save different a report layout (views) in a Web Dynpro ABAP application, however this can not be done by column drag & drop. I first have to go to settings, move around columns, delete columns if I want to "hide", save it and then I see the result on screen. If I don't like it, I have to go back to settings again etc. In summary: in my opinion it is far too much hassle to move columns around, absolutely not as userfriendly as classic ABAP yet.
Again, maybe the technique is available but I don't know that it exists?
If it is not existing, I hope SAP will put it in some day, as currently I still strongly prefer classic ABAP in case of ALV reports just because of the drag & drop. On the other hand, we are very eager to move forward => web-based UI, new techniques WDA, WDJ etc.
