Pros / Cons

  • 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
