But if you do and you get stuck, please don't ask questions on Telerik's own forums that are packed with people who know a lot about Telerik

The problem that those payed to support you don't know nothing...

Just to rub it in a bit, my experience with DevExpress is quite different.

Well, I should hope not. If I paid for support and the support technicians did know nothing, I'd be pretty annoyed.

Our shop is in the process of not using Telerik controls anymore. We are looking for something more lightweight and open source.

Tell me about it. The project I'm working on now has a bunch of Telerik controls being used in ways that are uncharted territory as far as The Great Google is concerned.
We've also found a sh*t-ton of bugs and a couple of things that were badly implemented, like using local storage for storing data for off-line grids instead of using session storage. That was a fun little bug to find that only occurs when you've got multiple tabs going to the same page with different data!

 We use them extensively, both the Silverlight and now the WPF versions. While they can be difficult sometimes and I dare not try and change their styling they do work well.
We changed from Infragistics who have had an absolutely horrendous object hierarchy.
SO seems to be their main support tool these days but I have had some real nasties resolved by their support team. I do like their habit of supplying a sample program to demonstrate their solutions.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I have one of these[^], it's a pocket calculator.

What you do not have one as backup? However, mine is only about 90 years old. I even had a circular one.

Of course I have backup...an 8 core 64GB monster sitting on my table in case the slide-rule can't cope with something...

Take an upvote for bringing back fond memories of my college years as an engineering student. We did all calculations on a slide rule. It was in the 60s, just before the first electronic calculators appeared.

Old school… awesome.
My first term in college we learned to use slide rules. I'm so glad that calculator prices went down after that.

Right, we can stop this my bloody old thing still works malarkey here and now!
I bought one of these babies[^] when they first came out, it was the bleeding edge dog's! I still have it and use it, if not every day, regularly! It works really well and I even managed to write some logic games for it; saved to dead trees.
The point is that it does what it was designed to do. There was no interweb connectiveness back than and so it doesn't support TCP/IP or any other communication protocol BECAUSE IT DID NOT NEED TO! You can't save anything, except 'copy to paper' and the graph drawing was always good for a laugh. That said, I use it and still love it.
WinTen was a minor jump compared to 8, but it works and it supports all the gizmos we need today and a few that are of about as much use as a BACON sandwich at a bar mitzvah. I could easily switch to Linux whateva, but I really can't be arsed; I've worked in Windows from v1 - now there's a dog even Battersea would put down - through every iteration. I was even forced to use Vista to test our then product and that hurt, but not as much as trying to get ANYTHING running on Windows 1.0!

That's nothing.
I still have my slide rule (Bar Mitzvah present, 39 years ago) running in perfect order.
