#3That is one of the most successful Bulgarian companies being acquired. Telerik has been a center piece in the Bulgarian IT sector. There is hardly an IT company here in Sofia that doesn't have at least one employee that has been employed with Telerik or gone through their training programmes.

#4This is a fascinating move for Progress Software, who seem to have managed decades of survival through the onslaught of SQL and MySQL/Postgres cutting into their market .. and so to see them acquiring Telerik now is really interesting. Progress were, once, one of the major players in the database space (and still are in many vertical markets) so it could really be an interesting development to see them rise again. Could be with this acquisition they are gearing up for a new era in database development...

#5I did not realize that Telerik was of Bulgarian origin. That is a pretty sizable exit.

#6Telerik makes awful .Net components. I have used them in past. I was frustrated with their breaking changes, they had the worst release management. Every year they used to release new version and used to outright removed the methods or replace the signatures. No Deprecation!

We're using the kendo ui mvvm, It seems like they forked knockout js, and just did their own thing. It's kind of awful. I kind of wish I had fought harder to use Angular js.

#8Progresses' database is an interesting and very powerful product, but, I'm not sure that this will be beneficial to anyone who isn't really familiar with the verticals and integrations that Progress owns. I know that I've seen progress used by running MFP/ERP suites that are used by automotive and manufacturing companies.

In the past 8 years I've been involved in more projects to remove Telerik than to use it. The performance and long term maintenability of these drag and drop with no code! components are never well advertised. But I guess it solved a massive issue when companies thought design was cheaper with a consistent skin, forgetting that their programmers would still need to layout everything.
