Keeping in mind I haven't used Sencha for anything commercial beyond a feasibility spike, it seemed completely outclassed by Kendo (hence going with that). It felt slower/sluggish in the browser, far less elegantly designed from a development perspective, and nowhere near as easily extensible. Telerik's support was also exceptional when we tried doing things well outside the scope of what the documentation covered.

Using v3.4 atm (not the latest). It's all Javascript and it pretty much takes over the whole UI. It's not too bad, although I've not really had much experience with Javascript UI yet. (A little Kendo UI which is also very impressive, as well as a Pluralsight knockout course.). I'm not sold enough on it to recommend it whole heartedly, still early days for me. I get a better feel from Kendo UI than Ext-Js, but I've not looked at what else Sencha has (I think theres something called Sencha Touch?) Might also be my bias towards Telerik? If I were you I'd grab the Sencha examples and have a play, but also have a look at Kendo UI, and anything else you can get your hands on. Bootstrap and Knockout might also be worth looking at. Then you can make a better decision based on your own feel of it. cheers, Stephen On Thu, Aug 29, 2013 at 3:05 PM, Stuart Kinnear <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Has anyone used Sencha components with dot net. I'm thinking that these guys have their act together on the front end & perhaps hooking up to dot net web services or similar on the back end. I've looked briefly at their demo site and on the surface it looks pretty impressive. I'm intrigued as to how they convert the GXT Java controls to Javascript.
