Thanks, I've looked at KendoUI from their 'Preview' days onwards, when the license was so confused (and no one could answer) that I gave up. I've been back since and read through the demos, but to be honest I'm not a fan. KendoUI doesn't feel cohesive, and while I'm pleased they advertise framework bindings, having their own MVVM implementation seems crazy.
So, I'm biased against KendoUI as my gut feeling says something's not right with it, but have no actual experience to back that up ;)
Completely agree re the learning curve and hating ExtJS - I've 'used' a bad implementation of ExtJS 3.2 in the MODX CMF [0] where it powers the CMS's admin and it's hideous.
- bjourne 13y agoThe backend integration is completely optional. You can put any REST controller (given that they follow Kendo's simple protocol) behind the widgets and everything can be bound using Javascript. It integrates well with other Javascript libraries. But not so much with Angular, which is more because Angular doesn't play well with anything than a flaw in Kendo.
