Thanks Will!
Very helpful information. Our interest in using Telerik UI tools is because we're thinking much of the functionality is there and it will reduce our development time.
Not being a developer myself, do you see any concerns using Telerki UI tools as DNN upgrades into new versions?

It's really difficult to say... On one hand, DNN generally doesn't get in the way of integrating UI frameworks/tools like these, as long as they're compatible with webforms in some way. As an example, you don't want to try and use MVC-based ones. However, as both DNN and the chosen tools (Telerik, in this case) continue to evolve, there's no way to tell if either software solution may make a choice to cause some sort of non-compatibility, or if that choice is made for us by Microsoft for that matter.
By the way, this is a good reason to use an AJAX / SPA approach that's "closer to the metal," such as React, Angular, and Vue. Your work will be completely portable across multiple platforms.
As an added bonus, you might be able to re-use most of the work across devices using this approach if you were to base it on Angular. Because, much of the work could be repurposed as a mobile app, using something like Ionic.
This was even a presentation about how to do this by David Poindexter (nvisionative) at a previous DNN Summit event. 💪🏽
