In a past life I spent many months deep in this library. There were some good things about it. Documentation is decent, performance was good, and their support was great.
But still, it was a massive hindrance not to be able to dig into the library source when needed. I spent days grokking decompiled library code in order to get done what needed getting done.
When it came time to grow the team, I couldn't in good conscience ask new hires to invest in learning all of this proprietary bespoke SVG-like-but-different ecosystem, knowing it would be frustrating and learnings would likely not be fundamentally applicable to other future endeavors.
