  My experience with Telerik has been similar, although not as bad as yours I guess, plus it was long ago. However, this article seems to be mostly about .NET Core and Telerik-independent.

  I've finally got to the stage where none of my projects contain 3rd party dependencies that aren't open source. It has removed a whole load of aggravation and expense.

  My issue with Telerik was more to do with their free tools. The installer tries everything to install trials of everything, and the free tools dial home every time you start them and try to encourage you to log in to a Telerik account or upgrade. At one point they were using a port/protocol blocked by our corporate firewall to download the "what's new/updates are available" content and Just Decompile would literally crash every time it started up unless I disabled all of my network cards/wifi. But not immediately, it would fully start and it would be like 10 - 15 seconds later that it bombed. Not the greatest. It's a shame, because the actual free products are very good once you get past those annoying shortcomings.
