Are there any good solutions to this problem? The grid appears way too intrusive on the artwork, I don’t know if I’m the only person to despise this.

Do any of you know a good replacement (maybe a plugin?) that I can use to make the grid more user-friendly? I don’t mind the grid in Photoshop at all, but when I’m in illustrator I can’t even see the artwork edges and handles to know where I’m moving them to…

Anything at all would be greatly appreciated.
