Reading through this thread it appears most are not familiar with what a joke Telerik is, at least in the .Net community where they sell a lot of control add-ons.

Whenever I've had to work with there stuff I've ripped it out every time and replaced it either with a .net baseline control that was actually easier to work with and extend, or wrote my own. Now if I'm considering a job and I hear they are a heavy Telerik shop I know they are probably either all newbies or simply don't know what they are doing and I don't even interview there.

I'm curious, do these guys actually have a positive rep outside the .net community?
