If you can productize this, then you can potentially build a business around this.
The most feature filled spreadsheet component today is Handsontable. My company pays for the enterprise version of it...And we wish there was something better.

It's not free, but IMO it's the most Excel-like Web-based spreadsheet money can buy. You get support for Excel syntax and formulas, hundreds of Excel functions, XLSX import/export, print-to-PDF, virtual scrolling, OS clipboard integration, etc. — and it all runs in the browser.
If I tried and found myself liking kendo-ui, I'd probably end up even more frustrated from not being able to use it for personal projects.
EDIT: Just wanna add that you guys have done great work. Poking around the component demos is really slick.
Second - we use react and kendo had started exploring react only in oct2016 (we have our react HOT app in production since Nov 2015). I'm Not sure what's the status since googling for a react kendo spreadsheet component does not get me much.
But I would switch If you had a clean pricing for the spreadsheet, clearly showed by comparison where it was superior..And most importantly, react.
It's too expensive IMO. But if you are not using it commercially, it's on Github.
The thing is, it carries too much baggage. It took them many months to even put it on npm. Adding features takes a lot of effort.
Its 149$ for a year - its not at all bad and I love supporting them.
But there's space to innovate - look at Airtable. I would love to have a component that looks like Airtable frontend.
