Do we really need new content types for Landingpage and Sidebar?

[greatestview]

The first thing I do after installing Grid is to delete the content types Landingpage and Sidebar, because Grid can simply be attached to pages. Do we really have any real life use case, where those content types are used and make sense? I think they just add an additional layer of complexity to the user. Especially the content type sidebar is quite useless in my opinion, because we always proclame death to sidebars.

Thats the same problem with the Drupal module I think.

I dont really have an opinion on that. But I'd really like to hear @benthebear and @kroppenstedt on this topic.

At the moment Grid Landingpages and Sidebars are opt-out. Does it make more sense as an opt-out feature to simplify the initial grid setup? Or does it hide important features than?

+1 on what @greatestview says. Besides that I am on a general minimalistic content type course, I wouldn't make it the default. From my point of view, Grid is not a content type, but a way to organise a part of you content, in whatever content type you consider worth it.
