Pros / Cons
  • I haven't found a solution in the market that helps me kickstart my project the way ASP.net Zero did, it boosted our productivity 200%, is well designed, and is well documented with a very little learning curve.
  • This is partly due to my own level (mid experienced but not high), partly due to the sheer complexity and many aspects but also due to the fact that the code has hardly any comments.

  • Outstanding breadth of high-quality components, excellent Blazor support (Scheduler, Dialogs, Data controls), fast and reliable performance, clear docs with runnable examples, responsive support, frequent updates, and easy theming.
  • I cannot replace Syncfusion's internal styling entirely with DaisyUI classes because you don't have direct access to the component's internal HTML tags
