I have used jQuery some in the past, and I am evaluating the Telerik controls now. I have seen a lot of good recommendations on the Telerik controls, including some on StackOverflow. Indeed they do seem fairly full-featured. I also have no doubt that I can develop the application much more quickly using those controls than I can with jQuery. However, I am worried that they will cause too much bloat on my pages.

I've used Telerik and JQuery for years. "Full featured" generally equates to tons of bloat, features you don't need and a final page that is hard (or impossible) to optimize. Drop Telerik and use a bare metal framework like JQuery. You'll find that it will allow you to build the specific functionality you need and you'll never go back. Many of the full featured UI suites like (like Telerik or ComponentArt) are very seductive but I think they encourage a lot of bad programming.

For instance.... Do you really need to have drag-and-drop-able columns on your grid? Probably not. It's probably better to have a design area where your users can layout their column preferences and then the main view where the grid is snappy and lightweight. Don't render down megabytes of added features that your users will never (or rarely) use with every page view.

Being a long time web developer, though, I always encourage people to use the right tool for the job. If you don't need the powerful capabilities of the RadControls, or the accesiblitity support, or the extensive documentation (to help the guy that will inherit your app), don't use them for your site. If all you need is basic UI, jQuery may be just fine. What I tend to find, though, is that when a developer can offer advanced features to users (what we sometimes think of as "bloat") for doing no extra work, users are much more impressed with the end product and find it much easier to use.

And above all, remember in most cases you generate value for your company/customers by building applications- not UI components. So unless there is good reason to re-invent the wheel, you're usually best served by using something that's already been built and tested to solve the problem you're facing.

Regarding the "bugginess" and other challenges faced by Brian C (et al), I think some additional clarification is deserved here. As a developer advocate, I won't make any pretense that the Telerik controls are perfect- no software written by mere mortals ever is. What's important then is how those bugs are addressed.

All too often, people overlook how a company (or open source project) addresses bugs until it's too late. No matter what tools you use- jQuery, Telerik, or even Microsoft- you're going to eventually hit bugs. Where Telerik tends to excel is providing rapid fixes for those problems and very thorough support to help you be as productive as possible. If you have a problem, Telerik -will- help you solve it. With other companies, and especially with Open Source, that is not always the guarantee.

So just remember: no matter what tools you use, you're going to face bugs. Make sure you pick tools with support that can respond to your problems and fix them very quickly. And since I know my perspective is unavoidably biased, I'll let others on StackOverflow confirm or deny Telerik's support quality.

It really depends on how much bloat you can tolerate. If it's for an Intranet application, then it doesn't really matter, but as you specified external-facing, then this might be a problem, it really depends on the average connection speed of your users and on the speed of their computer/browser which will ultimately run the controls.

In case it helps anyone later, I have dumped the Telerik tools and am using jQuery exclusively for now. We'll see if I run into something that I can't do. I was disappointed in the Telerik tools. I had heard so many good things about them, but they didn't work so well for me. Here is what I found when evaluating the Telerik tools.

I saw lots of unexpected behaviors and quirks that don't seem to have any documentation. For example, when using the Web20 skin and form decorator, the rounded corners on a fieldset go all to hell when doing Ajax.

The Telerik tools slowed down my dev machine quite a bit and seem to cause problems with my environment. I almost never have crashes or memory violations, and I had four in two days while using these tools. It had probably been a month since my last one before that.

Your UI requirements will have the greatest impact on this decision. I don't think the Telerik controls can be compared to jQuery in terms of functionality. If you need server-side controls to display data, evaluate Telerik against other competing controls.

I use the Telerik controls and also paid for the source code, so as for them going out of business, not a huge concern given the source code. I have no specific experience using the Telerik controls on a public facing website but wouldn't hesitate to at all. I have been directed at times, to use JQuery for additional functionality that the controls didn't have.

The one issue that I do have is that because you aren't coding all of this functionality yourself with the use of controls (not just Telerik's) it's really easy to drag and drop all kinds of fun stuff to your page, which is going to add processing to each and every page. That being said, keep your use of them to a minimum and I don't think they'll be any more bloated than hand-coded JQuery implementations.

If you need some advanced functionality and/or more complicated controls and Telerik provides this, I would say it's premature to write them off. If you just need basic UI functionality that jQuery UI can provide, then use jQuery for those specific parts.

The RadScriptManager is different than the MS Ajax scriptmanager because it has an EnableScriptCombine="true" property that you can set that enables all the javascript files used by telerik controls to be combined into one .js file to improve performance.

I'm not aware of anything that comes close to the RadGrid. It's pretty powerful. I'm using it right now on an intranet app, and it runs fast so far. I'm using all of its features, Group By's, Export to excel, etc.

Telerik is just now starting to devote more time to the client-side support for their RadGrid. So far I've been disappointed with the grid. I feel bad for them, because they are having to maintain essentially 2 code-bases: one for their server controls which redraws everything in C# based on Postbacks and ViewState, and one for the client-side controls which redraws portions of the control in javascript (kind of like a port of their C# code to javascript). That's a hell of a lot of work for them and so far I feel it's incomplete.

I don't usually post on these things -- but I couldn't resist this one. I went with jQuery / jQuery UI over Telerik. I really liked what they had on the demo pages -- then I tried to get it to work. I struggled with the ribbon bar, and showed them a bug or two. They was it was going to be fixed soon... it wasn't....then the next release... it wasn't. Finally they had a beta and asked me to test it for them -- good grief. Their stuff sure is nice looking, but I couldn't deal with the things just not working.

I've been using jQuery / jQuery UI for about 6 months now and I like it. Easy to use. Lightweight. Does what it says. Not as full featured perhaps as Telerik but understandable and can be put in your project with just a few scripts. I really like the Themeroller, too.

I have been using Telerik for controls for 3 years. I finally realized that I am in love with the idea but the controls themselves are very buggy, annoying to implement and in the end have cost me way more time that it would have to build myself. I would definitely recommend not using Telerik.
